Books similar to Arya/Daenarys story arcs in Game of Thrones

[Max]

This req may seem unusual, but I'm looking for books similar to story arcs in Game of Thrones for Arya and/or Daenarys (only the separate story arcs, not the whole multi-charactered epic). You know in Arya's story she's becomes a young assassin and in Danny, you know, dragon queen. I'm looking for similar action/adventure/fantasy stories with girl protagonists that's not completely cliched. Thanks a lot for any help.

Assassin and similar stories with a female lead:
His Fair Assassin series starting with Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
Warriorand Witchduology by Marie Brennan
Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
Thief's Covenant by Ari Marmell
Star Crossed by Elizabeth C. Bunce
The Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner


If you liked the Daenarys story I would recommend:
The Griffin Mage trilogy by Rachel Neumeier
Vesselby Sarah Beth Durst
Eon: Dragoneye Rebornby Alison Goodman
Dragon Keeper by Carole Wilkinson
The Elvenbane by Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey

Thanks for all the recommendations. Just realized how hard it is to find good epic/ high fantasy books for adults with female leads. :/

My own World-Queen books are something like the Daenarys story, so far as I understand it. BTW I only know the contents of the Song of Fire and Ice saga secondhand.

My World-Queen books are about the dispossessed heiress of a global empire who struggles to regain her father's power.

Anyway, "Mistress of the Topaz" is already out there, both as an ebook (many places) or paperback on Lulu.com. "Mistress of Land and Sea" will come out later this year.
