Jade Presley Books in Order (Updated July 1, 2026)

Jade Presley is a pen name used for spicy romantasy and fantasy romance, especially why-choose stories with royal courts, dangerous mates, enemies-to-lovers tension, and high-stakes magical worlds.

Her books should not be treated as one single timeline. The Shattered Isle, The Never List, and Enchantress are separate reading sections unless a future author note confirms a direct shared continuity.

For most new readers, the best starting point is The Never List if you want the current traditionally published series. Start with Her Villains if you want to read Presley’s earlier fantasy-romance catalog first.

Three Decisions Before You Read

1. Choose The Never List first if you want the most current Jade Presley series.
2. Choose The Shattered Isle first if you want a completed fantasy romance sequence with multiple connected couples and a finished realm-level conflict.
3. Choose The Veil of Blood and Magic if you want a separate dark romantasy entry, but do not treat it as required before either major series.

The Never List Books in Order

1. The Never List (2025): Rylee Gray enters Lumathyst for her own hidden reasons and is chosen by four immortal god-princes who need a mate to protect the kingdom.
2. The Kings’ List (2026): Rylee and the four princes face a new season of tests after the Choosing, with the throne, public judgment, and their future rule all under pressure.
3. The Queen’s List (2027): The upcoming third Never List book is scheduled to continue Rylee’s story after The Kings’ List and should be saved until the first two books are read.

Read The Never List series in exact order. The Kings’ List directly follows the first book, and The Queen’s List is positioned as the next step in the same continuing arc.

The Shattered Isle Books in Order

1. Her Villains (2022): Princess Cari of the Shattered Isle is promised to four enemy princes to secure peace, while secretly carrying a mission to kill them.
2. Her Revenge (2022): Cari’s story continues after marriage turns into war, forcing her to confront her father’s violence and become more ruthless than she wanted to be.
3. Her Mates (2022): This novella takes place before The Assassins and focuses on Cari, Lock, and the All Plane winter solstice during a tense period between larger conflicts.
4. The Assassins (2022): Gessi becomes queen of the Shattered Isle and must rely on four deadly assassins while General Payne’s attacks threaten her throne and her people.
5. The Reckoning (2023): Cari and Gessi’s storylines come together as two queens, their kings, and the assassins face a realm-wide siege.

Read The Shattered Isle in this order. Her Mates is shorter and sometimes cataloged as #2.5, but it belongs between Her Revenge and The Assassins.

Enchantress

• The Veil of Blood and Magic (2024): Liviana’s dark romantasy story follows a heroine driven by blood, magic, survival, and revenge against the Collector.

This is currently the only confirmed Enchantress book in the core Jade Presley catalog. Treat it as separate from The Never List and The Shattered Isle unless more books clarify a wider connection.

Recommended Jade Presley Reading Order

1. The Never List
2. The Kings’ List
3. The Queen’s List
4. Her Villains
5. Her Revenge
6. Her Mates
7. The Assassins
8. The Reckoning
9. The Veil of Blood and Magic

This order puts the most visible current series first, then moves into the completed Shattered Isle sequence, then places the separate Enchantress novel afterward.

Readers who prefer release history can start with Her Villains instead. That path shows Presley’s catalog developing from The Shattered Isle into the later Red Tower romantasy releases.

Publication Order

1. Her Villains (2022): The first Shattered Isle book introduces Cari, the enemy princes, the arranged-marriage setup, and the central war between realms.
2. Her Revenge (2022): The second Shattered Isle book continues Cari’s fight against her father and raises the cost of protecting the All Plane and the Shattered Isle.
3. Her Mates (2022): This novella sits inside The Shattered Isle sequence and gives Cari and her mates a shorter interlude before the next major arc.
4. The Assassins (2022): This book shifts attention to Gessi, her unexpected queenship, and the assassins who protect her while the Isle remains unstable.
5. The Reckoning (2023): The Shattered Isle finale brings Cari and Gessi into the same endgame against General Payne and the wider siege.
6. The Veil of Blood and Magic (2024): The first Enchantress novel opens a separate dark fantasy-romance lane with blood magic, revenge, and survival.
7. The Never List (2025): The first Never List book begins Rylee’s Lumathyst arc with deadly royal selection, missing-sister stakes, and four immortal princes.
8. The Kings’ List (2026): The second Never List book continues directly after The Never List, moving from the Choosing into trials of rulership.
9. The Queen’s List (2027): The third Never List book is scheduled for April 13, 2027, and should be treated as upcoming until release.

Publication order is useful for tracking Presley’s career. It is not mandatory across series because The Shattered Isle, Enchantress, and The Never List are separate sections.

Chronological Order

There is no confirmed author-wide chronology that joins all Jade Presley series into one timeline.

Use series chronology instead:

1. Her Villains
2. Her Revenge
3. Her Mates
4. The Assassins
5. The Reckoning

Then read The Never List separately:

1. The Never List
2. The Kings’ List
3. The Queen’s List

The Veil of Blood and Magic should remain separate unless later Enchantress books establish a larger sequence.

Completed, Ongoing, and Upcoming Series

The Shattered Isle is complete at five listed entries.

The Never List is ongoing, with two books released and The Queen’s List scheduled as the third book.

Enchantress has one confirmed book listed, The Veil of Blood and Magic.

Where to Place Her Mates

Place Her Mates after Her Revenge and before The Assassins.

This matters because Her Mates takes place before the events of The Assassins. It is a novella, but it is not random bonus material outside the story flow.

Readers who only want the core plot can continue from Her Revenge to The Assassins, but the better full-series route includes Her Mates in between.

Latest Release Status

The latest released Jade Presley book is The Kings’ List, published May 19, 2026.

The next confirmed upcoming title is The Queen’s List, scheduled for April 13, 2027.

The Shattered Isle is currently complete. I found no confirmed release date for a second Enchantress book.

Conclusion

The easiest Jade Presley starting point is The Never List.

For a completed earlier series, read The Shattered Isle in order: Her Villains, Her Revenge, Her Mates, The Assassins, and The Reckoning. Keep The Veil of Blood and Magic as a separate Enchantress read, and save The Queen’s List until after The Never List and The Kings’ List.
