Addie Thorley’s standalone novels include An Affair of Poisons (2019) and Burn the Kingdom Down (2026), bookending her career on either side of the Night Spinner duology. An Affair of Poisons is set in the court of Louis XIV’s France and follows Mirabelle, the daughter of a poisoner, who must use her knowledge of herbs and toxins to prevent a coup. The historical French setting and political intrigue make it a strong entry point for readers who enjoy court-set historical fantasy.

Burn the Kingdom Down (2026) is Thorley’s most recent work and, with a title suggesting political upheaval and power struggle, appears to continue in her characteristic tradition of young women navigating dangerous and morally complex historical worlds. Each standalone can be read independently of her other work.
