E.P. Bali Books in Order (Updated May 29, 2026)

E.P. Bali is the fantasy romance name of Ektaa “E.P.” Bali, an author born in Fiji who has lived in Melbourne and Brisbane. Her books cover adult romantasy, why-choose paranormal romance, fae fantasy romance, YA portal fantasy, and middle-grade fantasy written under Ektaa Bali.

Her catalog is best read in lanes, not as one single straight line. Her Vicious Beasts must be read in order. The Warrior Midwife and The Archer Princess belong together as the Ellythian Princesses Saga. The Travellers and The Pacific Princesses are separate younger-reader continuities.

The Reading Map

1. For E.P. Bali’s adult romance catalog, begin with Her Vicious Beasts: The Beginning, then continue into Her Feral Beasts.
2. For fae fantasy romance, begin with The Warrior Midwife.
3. For YA fantasy, begin with The Chrysalis Key.
4. For middle-grade Ektaa Bali books, begin with The Unicorn Princess.

The main warning is simple: do not skip around inside the completed series. Bali’s books often use cliffhangers, hidden identities, fated bonds, and escalating reveals.

Her Vicious Beasts Books in Order

This is a completed New Adult why-choose paranormal shifter romance series, with a prequel and five main books. Read the prequel first if you want the cleanest setup.

1. Her Vicious Beasts: The Beginning (2022): A prequel novella that introduces Aurelia Aquinas, her hidden powers, and the mate-bond problem that shapes the whole series.
2. Her Feral Beasts (2023): Aurelia is pulled into Animus Academy and forced into close proximity with dangerous mates while hiding who and what she really is.
3. Her Rabid Beasts (2024): The second main book pushes Aurelia’s situation into wider political danger after the first book’s prison-school setup.
4. Her Psycho Beasts (2024): Aurelia’s secrets become harder to protect, and the series turns more openly toward identity, power, and betrayal.
5. Her Tortured Beasts (2025): The fourth book carries the series into its darkest late-stage consequences, with the bond group and larger conflict under pressure.
6. My Dark-Hearted Darling (2025): An optional short story commonly listed as Her Vicious Beasts #4.5; treat it as bridge material rather than a required main installment.
7. Her Monstrous Beasts (2025): The fifth and final main book closes Aurelia’s story and resolves the core five-book arc.
8. Untitled Her Vicious Beasts Epilogue Novella (Announced): A future epilogue novella has been announced for 2026, but no firm title or release date should be treated as verified yet.

The Warrior Midwife Books in Order

This is a completed New Adult M/F fantasy romance trilogy about Saraya and Drake. It is part of the larger Ellythian Princesses Saga.

1. The Warrior Midwife (2022): Saraya is bound by a marriage agreement to a Dark Fae prince and ends up disguised inside a fae warrior academy.
2. The Warrior Priestess (2022): Saraya and Drake face forced marriage, demon-court danger, and the truth of Drake’s powers.
3. The Warrior Queen (2022): Saraya’s trilogy reaches its final battle as she fights for Lobrathia, Drake, and the human realm.

The Archer Princess Books in Order

This trilogy follows Altara, Saraya’s sister. It happens around the same broad time as The Warrior Midwife trilogy, but it has its own central romance and arc.

1. The Archer Princess (2022): Altara flees into hiding, only to be pulled into forced marriage, ancient warriors, and the return of dangerous old powers.
2. The Archer Witch (2023): Altara and Zale are trapped in the Eternal Forest, where curses, trauma, and outside forces test their bond.
3. The Archer Queen (2023): Altara’s trilogy concludes while also helping close the larger Ellythian Princesses Saga.

Best Order for the Ellythian Princesses Saga

For the smoothest read, use this order:

1. The Warrior Midwife (2022): Opens the saga through Saraya’s forced marriage and academy disguise.
2. The Warrior Priestess (2022): Continues Saraya and Drake’s story after the first book’s revelations.
3. The Warrior Queen (2022): Finishes Saraya’s main trilogy.
4. The Archer Princess (2022): Starts Altara’s parallel sister-trilogy.
5. The Archer Witch (2023): Deepens Altara and Zale’s curse-and-magic arc.
6. The Archer Queen (2023): Ends Altara’s trilogy and gives the saga its wider closing movement.

The two trilogies are connected, but new readers do not need to alternate books unless they want to experiment with timeline placement. Reading one trilogy at a time is clearer.

The Travellers Books in Order

This is E.P. Bali’s YA fantasy series. It is separate from the adult romantasy books.

1. The Chrysalis Key (2021): Five teenagers in Brisbane are pulled into a darker magical-school and portal-fantasy story after a shocking school incident.
2. The Allure of Power (2022): The second Travellers book continues the magical-school conflict and expands the consequences of the first book.

The series was described as planned for more books, but only the first two are reliably listed as published.

The Pacific Princesses Books in Order

These are middle-grade fantasy books published under Ektaa Bali. They are separate from the adult E.P. Bali romance catalog.

1. The Unicorn Princess (2020): Sonakshi, a hidden unicorn princess connected to Fiji and Australia, begins the series with a rescue quest and magical danger.
2. The Fae Princess (2021): The second book continues the Pacific Princesses fantasy-adventure thread with fae elements and new challenges.
3. The Mermaid Princess (2021): The third book completes the listed Pacific Princesses sequence through a mermaid-focused adventure.

Collections and Anthologies

1. The Blood of the Covenant (2023): A multi-author paranormal anthology that included Her Vicious Beasts: The Beginning; it is optional if you already have the prequel separately.
2. A Song of Lotus and Lightning Deluxe Omnibus Set (Collection): A collected special-edition format for the Ellythian Princesses books; it is not a new novel or separate story step.

Chronological Notes

The only meaningful chronology issue is with The Warrior Midwife and The Archer Princess trilogies. They are connected through sisters and happen in overlapping broad timeline space.

For most readers, chronological precision matters less than clarity. Read The Warrior Midwife trilogy first, then The Archer Princess trilogy.

Her Vicious Beasts should be read internally in order, starting with the prequel. It is not safe to jump into Book 3 or Book 4 without major confusion.

Latest Release Status

The latest full-length E.P. Bali novel is Her Monstrous Beasts, the fifth and final main book in Her Vicious Beasts, released in late December 2025.

The next confirmed story item is an unnamed Her Vicious Beasts epilogue novella planned for 2026. Because the title and date are not firmly confirmed, it should be treated as announced rather than scheduled.

The author has also noted audiobook plans for Her Monstrous Beasts, but that is an audio release, not a new book.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need to read Her Vicious Beasts in order?

Yes. Start with Her Vicious Beasts: The Beginning, then read Books 1 through 5. The series uses cliffhangers and continuing relationship development.

Can you skip the Her Vicious Beasts prequel?

You can, but it is not the best choice. The author recommends reading the prequel before Her Feral Beasts, and it gives useful context for Aurelia’s powers, isolation, and mate-bond setup.

Are The Warrior Midwife and The Archer Princess connected?

Yes. They form the Ellythian Princesses Saga and follow sisters in related fantasy-romance arcs.

Which E.P. Bali book should adult romance readers start with?

Start with Her Vicious Beasts: The Beginning if you want why-choose paranormal romance. Start with The Warrior Midwife if you want M/F fae fantasy romance.

Are The Travellers books connected to Her Vicious Beasts?

No clear reading-order connection should be assumed. The Travellers is YA fantasy and should be treated as separate from the adult romance catalog.

Are the Ektaa Bali books part of the E.P. Bali romantasy world?

No. The Pacific Princesses books are middle-grade fantasy under Ektaa Bali and should be kept separate from the adult E.P. Bali romance books.

Conclusion

The best E.P. Bali starting point is Her Vicious Beasts: The Beginning for adult why-choose paranormal romance, followed by Her Feral Beasts. That route gives the cleanest entry into her most order-sensitive series.

For fae fantasy romance, start with The Warrior Midwife and read both Ellythian trilogies in order. For younger-reader fantasy, keep The Travellers and The Pacific Princesses in their own separate reading lanes.
