Angel Lawson writes across romance, young adult paranormal, reverse harem, dark college romance, hockey romance, dystopian fiction, and fantasy romance.

Angel Lawson Books in Order (Updated July 1, 2026)

Her catalog is large, and it does not work as one single timeline. The best reading order depends on which side of her work you are starting with: the early paranormal and YA books, the reverse-harem fantasy era, the co-written dark-romance world with Samantha Rue, or the newer Wittmore U Hockey books.

The main continuity warning

Angel Lawson’s most order-sensitive modern books are the co-written dark-romance series with Samantha Rue.

Read Boys of Preston Prep before Royals of Forsyth University if you want the broader school-to-college dark-romance path.

Within Royals of Forsyth University, read by house arc:

  1. Lords
  2. Dukes
  3. Princes
  4. Barons

Each group is its own trilogy, but the world becomes clearer when read in release order.

Bonus entries such as Lady of Forsyth, Duchess of Forsyth, and other Forsyth extras are useful for fans, but they should not replace the main trilogy order.

Boys of Preston Prep books in order

Boys of Preston Prep is co-written with Samantha Rue. Read it before Royals of Forsyth University if you want the fuller dark-school progression.

  1. Devil May Care (2020): The first Preston Prep book introduces the privileged school setting, the Devil title pattern, and the dangerous relationship dynamics that later echo into Forsyth-style dark romance.
  2. A Deal with the Devil (2020): The second book keeps the Preston Prep conflict moving through bargains, power plays, and deeper emotional damage.
  3. Touched by the Devil (2020): The third book pushes the Devil arc toward more intense consequences and should follow the first two books.
  4. Devil Incarnate (2021): The final Preston Prep book closes the Devil sequence and works best after the earlier power structure is already established.

Royals of Forsyth University books in order

Royals of Forsyth University is co-written with Samantha Rue and is Angel Lawson’s most prominent connected dark-romance world. Read the main novels in order.

Lords bonus material

  1. Lady of Forsyth (2023): A bonus Forsyth entry connected to the Lords era, best read after Lords of Mercy rather than before the trilogy.
  2. Madam of Mayhem (bonus content): A short Forsyth bonus piece that belongs after the Lords material for readers who want extra world context.

  2. Dukes of Madness (2022): The second Dukes book deepens the house conflict and continues the emotional escalation from Dukes of Ruin.
  3. Dukes of Peril (2022): The Dukes trilogy closes with the consequences of the earlier bargains, rivalries, and violent loyalties.

Dukes bonus material

  • Archduke of Mayhem (bonus content): A Forsyth bonus entry connected to the Dukes era and best saved until after the Dukes trilogy has been read.

  2. Princes of Ash (2023): The second Princes book follows the fallout from Chaos and keeps the trilogy moving through family pressure and campus violence.
  3. Princes of Legacy (2024): The Princes arc closes by tying the chaos and ash of the earlier books into the wider Forsyth inheritance.

Chronological order

A full chronological order is not helpful for Angel Lawson’s entire bibliography.

The books move between unrelated settings: ghost stories, vampires, zombie survival, fantasy realms, college dark romance, hockey romance, and shared-world anthologies.

Use chronology only inside connected series.

The most important chronological boundaries are:

  1. Boys of Preston Prep before Royals of Forsyth University for the broader dark-school path.
  2. Lords before Dukes before Princes before Barons inside Royals of Forsyth University.
  3. Wraith / Haunting Jane before Shadow Bound before Grave Possession for the main Wraith trilogy.
  4. The Girl Who Shot First through The Girl Who Saved the World for Death Fields.
  5. Faking It with the Forward through Enticing the Enforcer for Wittmore U Hockey.

Latest release status

At the time of writing, such as July 1, 2026, the newest confirmed released Angel Lawson novel I found in the main catalog is Barons of Sorrow, listed as a 2026 Royals of Forsyth University release.

The Way We Break is listed as a July 2026 release and appears to be separate from Forsyth and Wittmore based on the sources checked.

Barons of Torment is listed for November 2026 as the next Royals of Forsyth University main-series title.

Because release dates and catalog numbering vary across retailers and book databases, treat future dates as scheduled rather than final until publication.

FAQs

What Angel Lawson book should I read first?

Start with Lords of Pain if you want Angel Lawson’s current dark-romance readership path. Start with Wraith / Haunting Jane if you want to begin at her earliest paranormal work.

Do Angel Lawson books need to be read in order?

Yes inside each series. Across the full catalog, no. The major order-sensitive series are Royals of Forsyth University, Boys of Preston Prep, Death Fields, Wraith, and Wittmore U Hockey.

Should I read Boys of Preston Prep before Royals of Forsyth University?

Yes if you want the broader co-written dark-school progression with Samantha Rue. It is not absolutely required for every reader, but it gives better context for the style and world progression.

What is the correct order for Royals of Forsyth University?

Read Lords of Pain, Lords of Wrath, Lords of Mercy, Dukes of Ruin, Dukes of Madness, Dukes of Peril, Princes of Chaos, Princes of Ash, Princes of Legacy, Barons of Decay, Barons of Sorrow, and then Barons of Torment when released.

Why do some sources count more Royals of Forsyth University books?

Some databases count bonus stories, side entries, and supplemental Forsyth material in the total. For reading order, follow the twelve main novels and place bonus entries after their related house arcs.

Is Lady of Forsyth required?

No. It is bonus or side material. Read it after the Lords trilogy if you want extra Forsyth context.

Is Duchess of Forsyth required?

No. It is best treated as Princes-era bonus material and read after Princes of Legacy.

Are Wittmore U Hockey and Royals of Forsyth University connected?

They are separate series. Readers can start Wittmore U Hockey with Faking It with the Forward without reading Forsyth first.

What is Angel Lawson’s newest book?

As of July 1, 2026, Barons of Sorrow is the newest confirmed released main-series title I found. The Way We Break is listed for July 2026.

What is Angel Lawson’s next book?

The next major Royals of Forsyth University title is Barons of Torment, scheduled for November 2026.

Final guidance

For modern Angel Lawson romance, read Boys of Preston Prep first, then Royals of Forsyth University in house order: Lords, Dukes, Princes, Barons.

For a lighter entry, start with Wittmore U Hockey and read Faking It with the Forward first.

For a full author read, begin with Wraith / Haunting Jane and move series by series. Angel Lawson’s catalog is easiest to navigate when each world stays on its own shelf.
