Reading order
-
1. From Blood and Ash
Book 1
Poppy is the Maiden, veiled and untouchable, and her new guard Hawke is far too interested in her. Very talky, very horny, and the twist lands if you don't see it coming.
- Vampires
- Enemies to Lovers
- Forbidden Love
- Morally Gray
Content warnings
Graphic violence, Murder, Physical or emotional abuse, Kidnapping
-
2. A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire
Book 2
The fake engagement book. If the banter in book one worked for you, there's twice as much here.
- Vampires
- Arranged Marriage
- Possessive Hero
- Court Intrigue
Content warnings
Graphic violence, Physical or emotional abuse, Murder
-
3. The Crown of Gilded Bones
Book 3
Poppy and Casteel head into Atlantia and nobody there is thrilled to meet her. The lore gets thick and the banter keeps coming, and the ending is one of the nastier cliffhangers in the series.
- Vampires
- Fated Mates
- Gods and Mythology
- Court Intrigue
Content warnings
Graphic violence, Torture, Murder, Kidnapping
-
4. The War of Two Queens
Book 4
The darkest book in the series so far, with long stretches in captivity and a lot of Casteel's past dragged into the light. It also starts weaving in characters from Flesh and Fire, so read that series first if you can.
- Vampires
- Fated Mates
- Gods and Mythology
- Captor and Captive
Content warnings
Torture, Kidnapping, Graphic violence, Sexual assault, Physical or emotional abuse
-
5. A Soul of Ash and Blood
Book 5
Half of this is Casteel retelling the early books from his side, which fans either love or skim. The present-day thread is short but moves the plot along.
- Fated Mates
- Vampires
- Gods and Mythology
- Possessive Hero
Content warnings
Torture, Sexual assault, Physical or emotional abuse, Graphic violence
-
6. The Primal of Blood and Bone
Book 6
Poppy and Casteel take the fight to Isbeth while the Primals start moving pieces of their own. Long, lore-heavy and clearly building toward an endgame, so expect threads left hanging.
- Fated Mates
- Gods and Mythology
- Vampires
- Found Family
Content warnings
War, Graphic violence, Torture, Death of a loved one
