If you love fantasy romance, chances are you’ve come across the subgenre of magical fae and/or fairies. Post the rise of Sarah J. Maas’ best-selling series Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses, the publishing industry took the concept and ran with it. Here are ten epic fae series to binge for those craving a fresh and out-of-the-box story!

Trial by Fae by Linsey Hall

Book One of the Ten Epic Fae Series To Binge is one of my instant one-click authors on Amazon. All of the series I’ve read from her were in-depth with gripping characters and unique storylines. She’s a sweetheart of an author, and her Facebook group is extremely active with fans looking to make new friends!

This particular set is completed and in Kindle Unlimited for your reading pleasure! It’s enemies to lovers, as well… *wink wink*

Description:

My fated mate is a powerful Fae king.
He must never realize who I am.

I lead a humble life slaughtering monsters. As long as no one learns that I’m descended from a line of forbidden Dragon Bloods, I can keep my job and my life.

But when a fiercely sexy Fae king realizes I’m his fated mate, I’ve got problems. Especially since A), he hates me and B), he learns my secret. It puts my whole life at risk. I want to kill my mate.

The stars align when my job sends me to the Fae Court as an undercover agent to investigate him. Did the king kill hundreds?

Even when I’m in disguise, he only has eyes only for me. He senses that I’m his mate, and our attraction is irresistible. Despite our mistrust, we can’t stay apart. But when he realizes what I’m up to, there will be hell to pay. That is, if I survive.

 

Kiss of the Blood Prince by Alessa Thorn

Book Two of the Ten Epic Fae Series To Binge is perfect for those who love a good villain romance. Long ago, the fae was driven from the Earth, but now they’re back with a vengeance, and only one snarky girl can put them in their place. There’s a ton of witty banter and action in this series that you don’t want to miss!

This is a completed set of four titles available in Kindle Unlimited.

Description:

Cursed. Betrayed. Banished.

Fifteen hundred years is a long time to wait to get revenge. The Fae know how to nurse a grudge, and now they have returned to England to claim their rightful place.

Fans of K. F. Breene and C. N. Crawford will enjoy this first book in a new fated mates series about cursed fae princes and the women destined to save them. If you have a weakness for adult fantasy romance featuring human females sassing fae villains this is the series for you!

Elise thought her biggest problems were her crap job and lack of a love life, but when a pissed-off fae prince attacks her train, and she’s taken as his slave, her problems are only just beginning.

Prince Kian has spent years planning his revenge, and it’s going to take more than one infernal female to stop him. It doesn’t matter that desire burns between them and that she could be the key to saving him, the bloodlines who betrayed him will suffer his wrath even if it kills him.

Kian needs her blood to break the curse that’s destroying him.
Elise needs to break his curse to win her freedom.

Once a bargain is struck with the fae, there’s no breaking it. But will her freedom be worth it if she loses her heart and condemns England in the process?

Dark Fae by Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti

Book Three of the Ten Epic Fae Series To Binge is on the darker, more sinful side of Kindle Unlimited. This dynamic author duo is known for psychopathic male characters and the one badass female who can handle them. There’s lots of blood, gore, and tragedy to go around with plenty of steam to back it up.

It’s completed and in Kindle Unlimited, but don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Description:

What do a heartless Dragon Shifter, a cold-blooded Basilisk, an arrogant Lion Shifter and a brooding, tattooed Harpy have in common…?
Me.
Elise Callisto. Vampire. Angel of vengeance. And a girl on a mission to destroy one of them for murdering my brother. I just don’t know which one did it yet.
When I interrogated/accidentally killed a Werewolf who was high on a new and dangerous drug called Killblaze, his final words painted a dark reality for me. The King of Aurora Academy killed my brother. The trouble is, there’s four kings at the academy and each of them have motive and bloodthirsty natures.
Aurora Academy isn’t a place for the faint of heart. To put it lightly, my town is the cesspit of Solaria where the most cutthroat Fae in the kingdom reside. The school itself is divided by the two gangs who run this city. The Lunar Brotherhood and the Oscura Clan. And guess what? Two of the kings run the gangs at the academy, their hatred for each other so fierce I hear a day doesn’t go by without blood being spilled in the halls.
I might be a petite, lilac-haired girl who looks like I couldn’t hurt a fly, but they haven’t been introduced to my fangs yet. And they don’t know why I’m really here. Or that I’ll do whatever it takes to bring down the Fae who took my flesh and blood from me.
I don’t believe in fate, but I do know this… the King who killed my brother is a dead man walking. And I’m prepared to sacrifice my heart, body and soul to ensure I get my revenge.

 

Court of Blood and Bindings by Lisette Marshall

Book Four of the Ten Epic Fae Series To Binge is the most unique on the list with a dark, brooding villain MMC that’ll keep you turning the pages. The author does a nice job of developing seemingly emotionless characters into fully fleshed-out beings who love and lose. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a complicated anti-hero.

The first two titles of this series are available in Kindle Unlimited with book 3 on the way.

Description:

They call him the Silent Death because he kills without sound and leaves none capable of speaking in his wake…

When the empire’s deadliest fae murderer catches her wielding forbidden magic, twenty-year-old Emelin believes her hour has come. Instead, her inhumanly beautiful captor spares her life but carries her off on his velvet wings – into the one place from which no human ever returns.

The heart of the Fae Isles. The treacherous Crimson Court, where the Mother of faekind has ruled unchallenged over fae and humans for decades.

The Silent Death is supposed to be the Mother’s loyal servant, her invincible warrior, her ruthless, soulless killer. But in the shadows he is playing a game of his own, and he needs Emelin’s magic to win it.

If she agrees to work with him, she could free all of humanity. But can she trust a fae male with so much blood on his hands? Worse, when his smoldering dark eyes and dangerous secrets reveal glimpses of the heart behind his murderer’s mask… can she trust herself?

Song of the Fae by Tricia O’Malley

Book Five of the Ten Epic Fae Series To Binge is a tantalizing, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance that’ll grip you from start to finish. The writing is really beautiful, trust me.

Description:

She sings the song that only his heart can answer.

His loyalty lies with the Royal Fae Court and with his people. Love is a distraction that royal warrior, Nolan, will not let ruin his future.

Alone and distrustful, Imogen refuses to accept her attraction for the warrior after he steals her ship and forces her on a quest where Dark Fae battle good and magick rules the night.

A prophecy realized.

The Dark Fae have risen, determined to wreak havoc upon the unsuspecting people of Ireland. Their goal? To destroy the woman in the prophecy before she discovers her magick and shatters their chance to claim the throne.

Now, Imogen stands between the Dark Fae and their rise to power, and Nolan finds his need to protect her overshadows everything – even his loyalty to the crown.

Are they fated…or fools? A song cuts through the darkness, binding the two forever – if only they’ll open their hearts to listen.

The Savage Fae’s Mate by Lola Glass

If you love the spicy side of life, Book Six of the Ten Epic Fae Series To Binge is part of an interconnected series of stand-alone books for you to devour. Lola Glass has a way of writing tension that leaves you on the edge of your seat, and the dark men in her stories are drool-worthy!

Both titles released now are available in Kindle Unlimited.

Description:

I threw a penny into a fountain… and ended up abducted by a group of fae called the Wild Hunt.

They dragged me into their world and made me one of them.

And then, they started hunting me.

I managed to convince their leader to take me somewhere safe, but after I got there, he revealed the price of his help:

Me.

I thought their hunt was going to be the death of me… but it turns out there’s nothing more dangerous than a male fae who has decided you’re his mate.

 

Fighting Destiny by Amelia Hutchins

Book Seven of the Ten Epic Fae Series To Binge is the beginning of a long series full of dark romance, Celtic fae, and characters who go more than skin deep. You’ll find yourself rooting for them in-between laughter, face-fanning steam, and nail-biting suspense. While the first title in this series came out all the way back in 2013, the set still stands on its own as a great starter series for steamy, dark paranormal romance.

All titles are available on Kindle Unlimited.

Description:

Have you ever heard of the old Celtic legends of the fae—beautiful, magical, and deadly, with a love of messing with humans just for kicks and giggles? Welcome to my world. What started out as a strange assignment leads to one of the most gruesome murder mysteries of our times, and my friends and I are determined to find out who is killing off fae and witches alike?

Couple of problems in the way—I hate the Fae and the Prince of the Dark Fae is bound and determined that I work for him. He’s a rude, overbearing, egotistical being with a compulsive need to possess, dominate, and control me.

Oh—did I mention he’s absolutely sex-on-a-stick gorgeous, and he makes me feel things that I never ever wanted to feel for a Fae . . . every time he touches me or looks at me with those golden eyes seems to pull me further in under his spell, despite my better judgment. My friends and I can’t trust anyone and nothing is as it seems on the surface—not even me.

 

Trial of the Sun Queen by Nisha J Tuli

If you love the Hunger Games and The Selection, then this series is a perfect fit. In Book Eight of the Ten Epic Fae Series To Binge, ten women fight for the right to be the Sun King’s bride amidst political intrigue, zapping tension, and ruthless opponents. If you love rooting for an FMC who’s the underdog, check this title out!

Available in Kindle Unlimited.

Description:

Ten women. A deadly contest. Only one can win the Sun King’s heart.

Lor has endured twelve long years of torment under the Aurora King’s rule. Her only desire is to get free and pay him back for every moment of misery she’s endured.

When a surprise release finds her in the hands of the Sun King, Lor is thrust into the spotlight as she competes against nine other Tributes for the role of queen. If she wins his heart, she’ll earn her freedom and finally get her revenge.

But Lor doesn’t belong in the Sun Queen Trials. Not only does she not understand why she was freed, she isn’t a citizen of the Sun King’s court. The other Tributes resent her presence and will stop at nothing to ensure Lor is wiped off the gameboard, permanently.

Now Lor must win, because if she loses, she dies. Or worse, she’ll be sent back into the hands of the Aurora King.

The Masked Fae by Shari L. Tapscott

If you’re a fan of swoon-worthy men who charm the FMC left and right, then look no further than this novel. While it is enemies to lovers through a bargain gone wrong, he slowly falls for the FMC, his sarcastic compliments turning sincere. The development of their relationship was well done and intriguing.

Available in Kindle Unlimited.

Description:

Never make a bargain with one of the Fae.

It’s a rule everyone knows…and yet it’s one Alice’s family seems to ignore. After her brother loses their entire family fortune in a wager he cannot afford, Alice ventures into the Rose Briar Woods to make a deal with the formidable Fae marquis who now owns her family’s estate—a portrait in exchange for her brother’s freedom.

But instead of Lord Ambrose, the young artist meets a mysterious masked man who saves her when her carriage is attacked by goblins. Even though he warns her to leave the woods, Alice finds herself working in the marquis’s manor.

Right away, Alice realizes Lord Ambrose is not what she expects. He’s kind when the Fae are supposed to be cold, and he’s generous even though he wants to be rid of her. And more, he’s hiding a painful past—one that seems to have something to do with Alice herself.

Soon, Alice is torn between the handsome marquis and the dashing masked bandit who continues to visit her in the evenings, but her heart tells her something is amiss.

Because it seems very likely the two men Alice is taken with just might be the same man…

Taken: The Coldest Fae by Katerina Martinez

This is yet another fae story based on a trial to win a stubborn fae prince’s heart, except our heroine is convinced she’d been entered by mistake. Everyone around her believes her to be fae but she’s completely human…or is she? It’s a concept that’s been done before, but not like this. The events wrap the female main character further and further around the fae prince’s finger making for a fast-paced page-turner.

Completed series in Kindle Unlimited.

Description:

In Arcadia, winter has no heart.

I make magic dresses for a living. I’m not rich or pretty enough to wear them, but I love what I do, working out of my family’s shop on Carnaby Street in London—until the fae show up.

It’s a straight-up kidnapping, and before I know it, I’m brought to this wintry place of cold hearts and beautiful nightmares, but that’s not the worst part. The worst part is, they think I’m fae, and I’m supposed to participate in some competition against a host of other women who’ve been training their whole lives for this.

The prize? The winner is to marry the Prince.

On the surface that sounds almost like a fairytale, only this competition is brutal and bloody, and the Prince is the jerk that kidnapped me. I can’t get too close to him or he’ll know I’m not fae, and then I’m dead. But I want to get close to him. His body burns with the fire of a cold star, and I’m drawn to him.

I need to fight the pull and survive long enough to find a way out of here, but these winter fae won’t make that easy.
