Something like game of thrones ?

I don’t want romance as the main focus 🙃

I cannot recommend enough the book Queen and Conqueror by Isabelle Olmo. It's her debut, but she smashes it! Great world building, plot is topnotch, big book, but words aren't waisted, high heat romance, twist and turns...YOU WON'T REGRET this read!
