Where Reading Order Matters Most

Read these series strictly in order:

  1. Rise of the Iliri: Sal’s war, relationships, identity, and politics build across eleven books.
  2. The Demons’ Muse: Sia’s story moves through one continuing paranormal arc.
  3. The Path of Temptation: Nariana’s temple training and divine conflict unfold in sequence.
  4. The Wolf of Oberhame: Leyli’s gladiator, court, and queen arcs are one continuous trilogy.
  5. The Ruins of Men: The newer dystopian fantasy arc is ongoing and should not be read out of order.
  6. End of Days: The Cerise Cole books follow one heroine and one apocalypse arc.

Series such as The Dark Orchid, Wolves Next Door, Where the Wild Things Grow, The Eidolon Chronicles, and The Mimics are shorter, but they still read best in their numbered order.

Chronological Order

A single chronological order is not useful for Auryn Hadley.

Her books sit in separate worlds, pen names, and coauthored projects. The correct approach is to read within each series, not to force all books into one shared timeline.

Use publication order only if you are a completist. Use series order if you are a first-time reader.

Latest Release Status

As of this update, Cybernetic Angel is the newest confirmed A.H. Hadley series starter I found with a 2026 release listing.

Rose’s Thorns is the newest confirmed Ruins of Men book, released in 2026 as book three of the planned five-book series.

Upcoming or not-yet-stable titles include Harrowing Hunt, Faerie Fables, Crows and Crowns, Dragonfly’s Ascent, Serpent’s Scales, and Enhancing Lives. Some are direct-store preorder or “coming soon” listings, so verify final wide-release dates before publishing a fixed “next book” box.
