The Tamir Triad is set in the same world as Lynn Flewelling’s Nightrunner series, but centuries earlier. The Bone Doll’s Twin (2001) introduces a kingdom where a mad king has been killing female heirs to keep his grip on the throne. To protect the true heir, a dark ritual hides a baby girl’s identity, and she is raised as a boy named Tobin. The magic comes with a terrible price: the twin brother whose body was sacrificed for the spell haunts Tobin as a ghost.

Hidden Warrior (2003) and The Oracle’s Queen (2006) follow Tobin’s growing awareness of the truth and the painful process of becoming Tamir. Flewelling handles the gender identity themes with care, treating the transformation not as a twist but as a reclamation. The trilogy is darker in tone than the Nightrunner books, with necromancy and sacrifice woven into its foundation, and it works well as either a companion to Nightrunner or a standalone reading experience.
