Eve Newton writes paranormal romance, fantasy romance, academy romance, omegaverse, and dark romance across a very large catalog. This is not one simple linear universe. It is better handled as a set of lanes: earlier paranormal series, then the 2022-2024 dark romance expansion, then the 2025 academy and fantasy branches, with several newer 2026 lines already listed.
The safest rule is simple: read each series in its own order, and only combine series when the connection is explicit. That matters most with Eve Newton because she has many short runs, side books, prequels, and spin-offs, and trying to force all of them into one master chronology creates more confusion than clarity.

Where to start
Start with Forever if you want Eve Newton’s earlier reverse-harem paranormal foundation.
Start with Get Knotted! if you want a more modern entry point and a faster sense of her later style.
Start with Cursed Descent or SilverGate Academy if you are here for the newer academy/fantasy material.
Start with Three Kings, Bleeding Hearts, or Blackbriar University if you want the darker 2023-2024 romance side first.
The early paranormal and reverse-harem foundation
Forever
- Forever (2012): The series opener and the clearest starting point for Newton’s original reverse-harem fantasy world.
- Choices (2012): Continues the same core setup and is sometimes also listed under the alternate title The Power of One.
- Trials (2013): Raises the pressure on the original cast and is also associated with the alternate title Revelations.
- Secrets (2019): A later-numbered installment that returns to the series after a long publication gap.
- Sacrifice (2013): Another main-series entry, sometimes associated with the alternate title The Ties That Bind, and best read in numbered order despite the mixed publication history.
- Revenge (2019): A later continuation that belongs near the end of the main arc.
- Forever After (2019): The current listed endpoint of the main numbered Forever sequence.
Optional Forever side books
The Other Switch (2014): A side entry for readers who want extra world material around the Forever books.
Aefre & Constantine: The Early Years (2014): A character-focused side story that is best treated as supplementary rather than essential.
Betrayal (2019): Another add-on title connected to the wider Forever world.
Constantine (2019): A companion-style title for readers who want more context around that character.
Bound
Bound (2013): A prequel-length starting point listed as book 0.5, useful before the main trilogy but not strictly required.
Demon Bound (2019): The true first full novel in the series and the best place to begin if you want the cleaner version of the order.
Demon Freed (2020): Continues the same demon-centered storyline and should be read second.
Demon Returned (2020): Closes the trilogy and works best after the earlier character and world setup.
Circle of Darkness
Dark Hearts (2019): Listed as book 0.5, this serves as an entry point into the shared series before the main numbered books.
Wild Hearts (2019): The first numbered novel, co-written with Leia King and Franca Storm, and the best starting point for the main arc.
Savage Love (2021): Expands the collaboration-driven paranormal world and should be read second.
Tainted Blood (2021): Continues the same line with the same connected cast and tone.
Darkest Desires (2021): The current listed endpoint of the series and the natural finish after the earlier books.
Enchained Hearts
Lives Entwined (2019): Opens the trilogy and establishes the central relationship/world mechanics.
Lives Entangled (2019): Builds directly on the first book, so this is not a good standalone entry.
Lives Endangered (2020): The third book, best saved until the first two have set the emotional stakes.
Dragon Realms
The Dragon Heiress (2019): The best starting point for readers who want dragon fantasy romance rather than academy or mafia-adjacent dark romance.
Claiming the Throne (2019): Continues the power struggle and succession thread from the opener.
A Baby Dragon for Christmas (2019): A 2.5 side novella that fits between the second and third full novels.
The Dragon Empress (2023): Returns to the series later and works best once the earlier dragon-world setup is already in place.
Dark Fae Kingdom
The Dark Fae Princess (2020): The entry point for this fae branch and the safest place to begin the sequence.
Dark Fae’s Desires (2020): Continues the same story line and should be read second.
Dark Fae’s Secrets (2020): The third installment, deepening the same fae continuity.
Dark Fae Rising (2024): A later follow-up that belongs after the original three-book run.
Demon Queen
Hell’s Belle (2020): Opens one of Newton’s longer paranormal runs and is the right starting point for this branch.
Pandora’s Box (2020): Continues the same arc and should be read second.
Belle’s Heir (2020): The third entry, also listed under the alternate title Belle’s Hell in some places.
Annabelle’s Legacy (2020): The fourth book, also associated with the alternate title Anna’s Heir.
Annabelle’s Apocalypse (2021): Carries the family and inheritance thread forward into later books.
Pandora’s Legacy (2021): The sixth listed book and the current end of this sequence.
Shorter paranormal branches and standalones
Lilith (2021): The first Vampire Queen book and the best entry if you want a short vampire-focused line.
Cursed Bite (2024): The second Vampire Queen book, best read after Lilith.
Hart of the Wolves (2021): The opening and currently only listed Irish Wolves book.

Bleeding Hearts
Crash (2022): Starts this dark secret-society reverse-harem branch and works best as a direct entry point.

No Such Puck (2023): The second book, best read after the opener to keep the team-world continuity straight.

New and upcoming lines
Fantastic Fiction currently lists additional 2025-2027 activity beyond the already published series, including Kings of St. Bartholomew’s, Savage Crown, London Bratva, Empire of Violence, Saranov Bratva, Kings of St. Augustine, Shadow Legacy – SilverGate Academy, and Dangerous Acquisitions. The listing also shows His Brutal Vow in February 2026 and His Savage Vow in March 2026 under London Bratva, plus Savage Alphas (2026) under Sinful Bonds. Because some of these are listed as new or upcoming rather than fully established series pages, they are best treated as release-status notes rather than folded into a firm reading order yet.

Do you need a full chronological order?
Not really. Eve Newton’s catalog is too segmented for a single all-books chronology to be more helpful than series-first reading. The better approach is to choose one lane, finish that lane in order, and only then move sideways into related subgenres. That preserves continuity without turning the page into a giant, low-value master list.
Latest release status
As of March 12, 2026, the newest clearly listed published-or-listed activity includes the 2025 academy/fantasy trilogies, Wild Ivy (2025) in Kings of Thornfield, Savage Alphas (2026) in Sinful Bonds, and the London Bratva titles His Brutal Vow and His Savage Vow in early 2026. Fantastic Fiction also lists several additional upcoming 2026-2027 projects, but those are best treated as current release-status notes until the series structure is more fully established on catalog pages.
