Best Romantasy Series — Multi-Book Romance Fantasy Worth Starting
The best romantasy series earn the investment of multiple books — the romance deepens rather than deflates, the world grows rather than contracts, and returning to these characters across sequels feels like reward rather than obligation. Whether you're here for dragon riders, fae courts, vampire tournaments, or enemies-to-lovers tension that builds across an entire series arc, every entry below has the quality to justify the commitment.
8 Best Romantasy Series
- 1
Fourth Wing
Rebecca Yarros · The Empyrean, Book 1
The romantasy that broke the internet — a war college for dragon riders engineered for maximum one-more-chapter energy. Yarros withholds and delivers information at precisely the pace to keep you reading at 2am, and the enemies-to-lovers arc carries real weight across both published books.

A Court of Thorns and Roses
Sarah J. Maas · A Court of Thorns and Roses, Book 1
The series that launched a thousand TikTok recommendations — ACOTAR builds into ACOMAF, which is the real event, but you have to earn it. Five books deep and readers are still not recovered. The series that defined the modern romantasy era.

From Blood and Ash
Jennifer L. Armentrout · Blood and Ash, Book 1
Poppy and Hawke's forbidden dynamic is one of romantasy's most addictive pairings — the twist at the end of book one reframes everything, and the series builds into a full mythology across five published books. JLA writes tension better than almost anyone.

The Serpent and the Wings of Night
Carissa Broadbent · Crowns of Nyaxia, Book 1
A human competing in a vampire tournament allies with the most feared contestant in the field. Broadbent is the genre's most exciting newer voice — dark, propulsive, with a blood magic system that earns every scene it anchors.

The Cruel Prince
Holly Black · The Folk of the Air, Book 1
Black's complete trilogy is the gold standard for fae enemies-to-lovers romantasy — each book ends on a revelation that requires immediate continuation, and the series delivers a fully earned ending in three books. The cleanest binge structure in the genre.

A Shadow in the Ember
Jennifer L. Armentrout · Flesh and Fire, Book 1
A prequel series to Blood and Ash set centuries earlier — a maiden raised to kill a god falls for the deity she was born to destroy. Enemies-to-lovers that smolders from page one, with world-building that rewards Blood and Ash readers.

Divine Rivals
Rebecca Ross · Letters of Enchantment, Book 1
Two rival journalists unknowingly exchange enchanted letters with each other while gods wage war around them. The most achingly romantic slow burn in the genre — and it's a complete duology, available to binge immediately.

Powerless
