Ivy Asher Books in Order (Updated April 28, 2026)

Ivy Asher writes paranormal romance, fantasy romance, urban fantasy romance, why-choose romance, and dark romantasy.

Her catalog is easiest to read in lanes. One lane is The Sentinel World, which includes The Lost Sentinel, Shadowed Wings, and The Sept. Another lane is The Osseous Chronicles, a witch-centered urban fantasy romance series. Other books are co-written series, duologies, standalones, or newer fantasy-romance projects.

The best place to begin is The Lost and the Chosen if you want the central Sentinel World. Start with The Bone Witch if you want witches and slower-burn urban fantasy romance. Start with Spark the Flames if you want the newer dragon-shifter fantasy romance line.

Fast Route for New Readers

1. Start with The Lost and the Chosen for the main Ivy Asher experience.
2. Start with The Bone Witch for witches, inherited magic, and a complete trilogy.
3. Start with Grave Mistakes if you want the Raven Kennedy co-written demon romance series.
4. Start with Order of Scorpions if you want a standalone dark fantasy romance.
5. Start with Spark the Flames if you want the newest dragon-shifter series, but know that book 2 is still forthcoming as of this update.

The Sentinel World Reading Lane

The Sentinel World is the most important continuity to keep in order. Read The Lost Sentinel first, then Shadowed Wings, then The Sept.

This route preserves the main magic, worldbuilding, and character connections.

The Lost Sentinel Books in Order

1. The Lost and the Chosen (2018): Vinna’s story begins with hidden power, strange markings, red-eyed monsters, and the first major reveal of the Sentinel world.
2. Awakened and Betrayed (2019): Vinna learns more about what being a Sentinel means, while the danger around her magic becomes more personal and harder to escape.
3. The Marked and the Broken (2019): The third book pushes Vinna deeper into Chosen politics, magical pressure, and the consequences of being wanted for her power.
4. Found and Forged (2019): The fourth book brings Vinna’s main Lost Sentinel arc to its payoff, tying together family, vengeance, power, and identity.

Shadowed Wings Books in Order

Shadowed Wings is connected to The Lost Sentinel and is best read after that series.

1. The Hidden (2019): A latent wolf shifter wakes in the land of the Gryphons, turning this spin-off into a bridge between shifter identity and the wider Sentinel World.
2. The Avowed (2020): The second book raises the danger around the Gryphon world and keeps the heroine trapped inside conflicts she still does not fully understand.
3. The Reclamation (2020): The final book completes the Shadowed Wings arc and should be read after the first two because the war, loyalties, and world stakes build directly.

The Sept Books in Order

The Sept continues the Sentinel World after The Lost Sentinel and Shadowed Wings. Because this is a later continuation branch, it is not the best place to start.

1. The Hunt (2024): Savoy’s story begins with alpha politics, fighting, survival, and a new stage of the Sentinel World.
2. The Claim (2024): The second book continues Savoy’s arc and should be read after The Hunt.
3. The Sept (forthcoming/uncertain): Goodreads lists a third Sept entry, but final publication details should be treated as uncertain until confirmed by the author or retailer listings.

Best Sentinel World Reading Order

1. The Lost and the Chosen (2018): Begin here because it introduces Sentinels, Vinna, and the core magical conflict.
2. Awakened and Betrayed (2019): Continue while Vinna’s identity and enemies are still unfolding.
3. The Marked and the Broken (2019): Read third to follow the escalation around Vinna’s magic and the Chosen.
4. Found and Forged (2019): Finish Vinna’s main arc before moving into connected spin-offs.
5. The Hidden (2019): Start Shadowed Wings after The Lost Sentinel because it connects to the same broader world.
6. The Avowed (2020): Continue the Gryphon-world arc without skipping ahead.
7. The Reclamation (2020): Finish Shadowed Wings before starting The Sept.
8. The Hunt (2024): Move into Savoy’s continuation branch once the earlier Sentinel World groundwork is clear.
9. The Claim (2024): Continue Savoy’s story directly after The Hunt.
10. The Sept (forthcoming/uncertain): Add this only once its status and final details are clear.

The Osseous Chronicles Books in Order

This is Ivy Asher’s witch-centered urban fantasy romance trilogy. It is separate enough to start without reading The Sentinel World first.

1. The Bone Witch (2020): Lennox unexpectedly inherits her family’s bone magic, beginning a witchy slow-burn story built around legacy, power, and danger.
2. The Blood Witch (2021): The second book pushes Lennox deeper into betrayal, survival, and the larger magical order around her.
3. The Bound Witch (2021): The final book resolves Lennox’s trilogy after death, magic, and love have reshaped what she thought she knew.

Hellgate Guardians Books in Order

This series is co-written with Raven Kennedy. It is a paranormal romance / why-choose demon series and should be read in order.

1. Grave Mistakes (2020): The series begins with demons, chaotic supernatural trouble, and the first step into the Hellgate Guardians setup.
2. Grave Consequences (2020): The second book continues the demon-romance chaos and builds from the relationships and danger introduced in book 1.
3. Grave Decisions (2020): The third book raises the stakes around the heroine, her guardians, and the supernatural mess around them.
4. Grave Signs (2020): The fourth book completes the Hellgate Guardians sequence and should be read after the first three.

The Eerie Books in Order

This series is co-written with Ann Denton. Current public listings make this a continuing series, but only the first book is clearly established as published.

1. Into Their Woods (2023): A dark, wolf-shifter, Red Riding Hood-flavored why-choose romance begins when a wrong stop in a strange town turns into a hunt.
2. Into Their Den (forthcoming/uncertain): The second Eerie book has been announced as Noah’s continuation, but its final release details should be treated as uncertain until publication is confirmed.

Secret of the Syphon Books in Order

This is Ivy Asher’s newer dragon-shifter fantasy romance series. Do not begin it expecting a complete series yet.

1. Spark the Flames (2025): Ever’s story begins with dragon shifters, enemies with benefits, found family, and a dangerous truth about who destroyed her people.
2. Ignite the Infernos (expected 2026): The second book continues Ever’s story after the curse on the Syphons is broken, with unresolved dragon-shifter and family-truth conflicts still in motion.

Standalone and Shared-World Titles

These books do not need to be placed inside the main Sentinel World reading order unless noted.

1. April’s Fools (2019): Co-written with Raven Kennedy, this is a dystopian why-choose rom-com and should be treated separately from Asher’s main paranormal continuities.
2. Conveniently Convicted (2020): A co-written paranormal prison / shifter story contributed to the broader Paranormal Prison world, best read as a shared-world side entry.
3. Rabid (2021): Co-written with Raven Kennedy, this is book 6 in the multi-author Kingdom of Wolves world and should be read as a shared-world standalone rather than an Ivy Asher series starter.
4. Order of Scorpions (2022): A dark fantasy romance standalone about assassins, fae, magic, and survival, making it one of the cleaner non-series entry points.

Chronological Order

A single chronological order across Ivy Asher’s entire catalog is not the best reading method.

Use continuity order instead.

1. For The Sentinel World, read The Lost Sentinel, then Shadowed Wings, then The Sept.
2. For The Osseous Chronicles, read The Bone Witch, The Blood Witch, and The Bound Witch.
3. For Hellgate Guardians, read the four Grave books in order.
4. For The Eerie, read Into Their Woods first and wait for confirmed details on Into Their Den.
5. For Secret of the Syphon, read Spark the Flames before Ignite the Infernos.

Where does The Sept fit?

The Sept comes after The Lost Sentinel and Shadowed Wings in the broader Sentinel World reading path.
