Chandelle LaVaun Books in Order (Updated April 22, 2026)

Chandelle LaVaun’s catalog splits into three main reading lanes. The biggest is The Coven, which has an official internal order that crosses between “seasons.” Separate from that is The Night Realm, co-written with Megan Montero. Then there are the other books: a stand-alone entry in a shared fantasy romance project and the beginning of a newer gods-based series.

That means the first decision is simple:

• Want the main witchy universe? Start with The Chosen Witch.
• Want the co-written paranormal/fantasy branch? Start with Midnight Mage.
• Want to sample outside the long-running saga? Read Of Blood & Nightmares as a stand-alone.

The short version

For the cleanest experience, read The Coven in Chandelle LaVaun’s official recommended order, not by jumping season to season at random. After that, read The Night Realm in its own series order. Treat Of Blood & Nightmares as separate, and treat Gods Reborn as a new continuity.

The Coven books in order

This is the core Chandelle LaVaun universe. The books were designed so readers can begin with certain season openers, but the author’s official site gives one “best reading experience” order that threads the whole saga together. That is the order below.

Elemental Magic / early Coven arc

1. The Chosen Witch: This is the real entry point to the broader Coven story, introducing the world, the tone, and the central magical identity questions that the later books keep building on.
2. The Lost Witch: The second book widens the magical conflict and shifts the series from discovery into consequence, so it works best immediately after the opener.
3. The Brave Witch: This installment raises the cost of power and choice, pushing the early arc into a more dangerous and emotionally charged place.
4. The Rebel Witch: Once the foundation is in place, the story turns toward control, resistance, and stronger internal tension within the Coven world.
5. The Broken Witch: This is where pressure and fallout start to dominate, making it feel like a true late-middle-series turning point rather than a fresh starting place.
6. The Eternal Witch: The war-scale stakes become harder to ignore here, and the series starts moving toward larger-payoff territory.
7. The Aether Witch: Read this after the previous six because it continues the core magical arc instead of resetting it.

School of Magical Arts / Academy crossover stretch

8. The Fire Witch: Although this is tied to the School of Magical Arts side of the saga, the official order places it here, making it part of the wider crossover flow rather than a separate detour.
9. The Hidden Witch: This starts the Academy Magic storyline, introducing a new perspective and school-centered angle while still feeding into the larger Coven continuity.
10. The Fallen Witch: The academy plot deepens here, with lies, secrecy, and trust issues taking center stage after the setup in Book 9.
11. The City Witch: This extends the school-world material and fits here because the official sequence uses it to bridge between academy developments.
12. The Wild Witch: The academy thread expands again here, and it lands better once both the school setup and the earlier crossover pieces are already in place.
13. The Frozen Witch: This pushes the academy storyline into a colder, more dangerous phase, feeling more like escalation than a standalone episode.
14. The Secret Witch: As the title suggests, this one works as payoff for hidden truths seeded through the previous academy books.
15. The Uptown Witch: The School of Magical Arts line keeps moving forward here, with broader responsibility and leadership pressures coming into view.
16. The Empire Witch: This continues that same school-centered thread and is best saved for this point in the sequence, after the academy and SOMA pieces have fully formed.

Old Magic / Fae / later Coven expansion

17. The Rose Witch: This is a useful hinge book in the larger saga, opening the “old magic” side of the world before the fae-heavy run that follows.
18. The Cursed Witch: The Fae Magic line begins here, adding another major flavor of magic and a different kind of threat to the overall saga.
19. The Rogue Witch: This follows directly from the fae setup and develops that branch of the story rather than starting a disconnected subseries.
20. The Rotten Witch: The fae conflict darkens here, and the title’s tone matches the sense of corruption and breakdown building through this run.
21. The Death Witch: This closes the Fae Magic quartet and belongs late in the Coven order because it pays off that entire branch’s buildup.

Later Coven branch books

22. The Wolf Witch: This is the Shifter Magic entry and comes late for a reason, functioning more like an expansion of the established universe than an introduction to it.
23. The Blood Witch: The Vampire Magic branch begins here, and the official order treats it as a late-stage extension of the larger Coven story.
24. The Potion Witch: This continues the vampire branch directly, so it should follow The Blood Witch without interruption.
25. The Scarlet Witch: This is the newest currently listed Coven novel and should be read after the rest of the established Coven order already in place.

Can you start The Coven somewhere else?

Yes, but only with care.

Chandelle LaVaun’s site says readers can start with any season opener, especially Elemental Magic, Academy Magic, Fae Magic, or Vampire Magic. That makes The Chosen Witch, The Hidden Witch, The Cursed Witch, and The Blood Witch alternate entry points. The tradeoff is simple: you gain a faster jump into the flavor you want, but you lose some of the larger-series buildup and some continuity lands with less force.

For most readers, The Chosen Witch is still the safest start.

The Night Realm books in order

This is a separate series line from The Coven and should not be mixed into that reading order. It is also co-written with Megan Montero, so it belongs in the catalog but in its own continuity.

Magic Marked

1. Midnight Mage: This opens the Night Realm world and is the right place to start if you want this branch without touching The Coven first.
2. Marvel Mage: The second book continues the same magical arc, widening the world and building on the first book’s spell-and-power setup.
3. Master Mage: This closes the initial trilogy and serves as the payoff to the trilogy’s central magical conflict.

Court Marked

4. Fatal Fae: This starts the next Night Realm phase, shifting the focus toward fae-centered chaos and a larger-scale continuation of the setting.
5. Fiery Fae: The fae storyline intensifies here, making it a direct middle book rather than a side entry.
6. Final Fae: This completes the Court Marked trilogy and belongs immediately after the first two fae books.

Christmas Marked

7. Bite Me, Santa: This begins the holiday run with a deliberately seasonal paranormal-romance tone.
8. Jingle My Bells: The Christmas thread continues here with relationship and holiday chaos building on the first seasonal book.
9. Trim My Tree: This keeps the holiday sequence going and works best as part of the same festive mini-arc.
10. Ride My Sleigh: The fourth Christmas Marked book continues the same seasonal continuity rather than resetting the premise.
11. Stuff My Stocking: This closes the five-book holiday run and should be left until last within the Christmas sequence.

Halloween Marked

12. Trick My Treat: This starts the Halloween stretch, switching the seasonal flavor from Christmas romance to spooky mischief and magic.
13. Hocus My Pocus: The second Halloween book continues that playful supernatural lane and should be read after the opener.
14. Carve My Pumpkin: This finishes the Halloween Marked trio and belongs at the end of the Night Realm order currently listed.

Other Chandelle LaVaun books

These are not part of either main ongoing universe above.

Forgotten Kingdoms

• Of Blood & Nightmares: This is Chandelle LaVaun’s contribution to the multi-author Forgotten Kingdoms project, and it is positioned as a stand-alone fantasy romance rather than a required series commitment.

Gods Reborn

1. Queen of Death: This is labeled as a prequel novella, so it functions as the first step into the Gods Reborn continuity rather than a full series opener.
2. Queen of Bones: This is listed as Book One and is currently presented as forthcoming, so it belongs after Queen of Death once released.

What should most readers do?

Use this path:

First, read The Coven in the 25-book official order above.
Second, read The Night Realm from Midnight Mage through Carve My Pumpkin.
Third, pick up Of Blood & Nightmares whenever you want a stand-alone.
Last, move to Queen of Death and then Queen of Bones once that new series is fully underway.

Best starting points by taste

• For the full Chandelle LaVaun experience: The Chosen Witch
• For magical academy vibes sooner: The Hidden Witch
• For fae-centered entry: The Cursed Witch
• For vampire-centered entry: The Blood Witch
• For a separate co-written universe: Midnight Mage
• For a one-book sample: Of Blood & Nightmares
