Summer days and summer nights
Another bite-sized anthology with Bardugo among the contributors, but these are sunny contemporary romances instead of dark saint legends.
The Witch of Duva
Six of Crows
Dead of winter
Another tale of saint-like chosen figures and brutal mythic destiny, but far more romance-driven and violent than the seed's quiet hagiography.
Poison princess
Trades illustrated legend for tarot-card mysticism and prophecy in a ruined world; much heavier on romance and teen survival horror.
Songs of love & death
Short fantasy tales collected in one volume like the seed's saint stories, though adult, romance-centered, and noticeably steamier.
