Recs if you like The Inadequate Heir...

Here are some fantasy novels with black FMCs!

Books where the story is brought to another level by the character development, be it in the complex character building or the multi layered character arc. The writer made the characters like facets, every angle and every relation gives them yet another aspect to further deepen the dynamic between characters. Every little bit of past revealed shows us the way they became who they are now. Leaving us with characters arcs that feel like an entire story on their own that impacts the greater plot.

A list for people who don't want to be left waiting for the next book release.

• Includes: First books in completed series, standalones and interconnected standalones*

• Subgenres: Fantasy with significant romance plots, Romantasy and Romance in Fantasy Worlds

First books in completed romantasy/fantasy series with both significant romance and fantasy plotlines. Let me know if you have thoughts/suggestions, books to add, or think any of these fall into a different category.

This list includes my favorite self possessed MMCs archetypes: shadow daddies, Cardan-esque (loathes that he desires her; flirtatious banter w/a thin layer of cruelty combined w/some tenderness), golden boys, daddy doms, morally grey & broody, buttoned-up controlled exterior w/hidden depth (reserved, complex, deeply feeling underneath), rakish playboy

Books I loved and can't stop thinking about
