10 Fantasy Series That Could Be The Next Game Of Thrones

8. The Inheritance Trilogy

Game of Thrones is most famous for its hardcore espionage, its tales of men and women vying for a throne, spilling blood everywhere, and also, oh yeah, there are dragons.

The Inheritance Trilogy ticks most of those boxes. It's about a woman going to a floating city in the sky where she gets engaged into a power struggle over who shall take over the throne. Oh, there's also four gods who are enslaved and used as weapons, that beseech the girl for aid. There are other people who have magic. That is a tiny sliver of a taste of the very first book in the series. There are three books.

That one city is one of many, all of which have deep, dark, interesting mythologies and power struggles within. You could make dozens of series focusing on all of the worlds, and even then you wouldn't reach the end of this universe's potential. All of Westeros has been mapped, move to a weirder, wilder, more interesting place.
