Read them in this order
Fatebound reading order
6 books, one couple, one continuous story. Start at Book 1 and read straight through — the series is complete, so nothing here is waiting on a release date.
| # | Book | Heat | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | The Fate-Chosen | Heat 3 of 5 | She starts as a girl nobody will train and ends holding a god's contract — with the world's deadliest assassin on the other end of it. |
| II | An Age of Ruin and Glory | Heat 4 of 5 | She stops enduring the covenant and starts using it, and finds out what every use of it costs her. |
| III | Lady of the Dusk March | Heat 4 of 5 | She wins the throne, and begins to doubt whether the devotion at her shoulder is his or the contract's. |
| IV | The Sundered Church | Heat 4 of 5 | The war arrives at her gates, and he decides she would be safer without him in it. |
| V | He Who Cannot Be Stopped | Heat 5 of 5 | He goes to end the war alone and does not plan to come back. She refuses to let that be the ending. |
| VI | Day of Endings | Heat 5 of 5 | Contract, magic and memory are all stripped away, and what is left has to hold without any of them. |

Questions about the order
Do I have to read Fatebound in order?
Yes. All 6 books follow one couple through one continuous arc, and each opens on the consequences of the last. Starting anywhere but The Fate-Chosen means meeting a relationship whose rules you have not been shown.
Where should I start?
The Fate-Chosen, Book 1. It is also the book with a free first chapter on this site, so you can find out whether the voice is for you before spending anything.
Is Fatebound finished?
Yes. All 6 books are published and the story is complete, ending in Day of Endings. There is no waiting on a release date and no cliffhanger left open at the end of the series.
Are there prequels, novellas, or spin-offs to fit in?
No. Fatebound is 6 novels and nothing else. The list on this page is the whole series.
Does the heat level change across the series?
Yes, deliberately. It opens at 3 of 5 because the romance is a slow burn, and reaches 5 of 5 by the end. The table above gives the level for each book.
