Disharmony books in chronological order
Series background & context
Disharmony is Leah Giarratano's darker young adult fantasy series, and it starts with a strong hook. Three siblings who have never met are tied to an old prophecy called the Telling. One is a psychopath, one is an empath, and one is a genius. Together they are meant to save the world, or help destroy it.
The early books let you sit with each sibling long enough to feel how differently they have been shaped. Luke Black is stuck in juvenile detention in Sydney, angry, hard-edged, and used to violence. Samantha White is growing up in Bucharest inside a fortune-telling world that carries both magic and danger. Jake, the younger genius, has been living a very different life again. When the three of them begin to understand who they are, the family mystery is only the beginning.
This is not a light, sparkly fantasy.
Giarratano brings a thriller writer's instinct to the series. The pacing is tense, the danger is close, and the books are interested in what power does to damaged people. Luke is especially important to the mood of the trilogy. He is not built like a standard hero, and a lot of the series' tension comes from the question of whether someone shaped for destruction can still choose something better.
The setting matters a lot. Sydney gives the story grit and immediacy, especially in Luke's sections, while Romania adds folklore, fortune-telling, poverty, and the sense that old magic is still tangled up with daily life. As the trilogy moves from The Telling into The Laeduin and Immortal Combat, the world opens wider. Hidden histories come into view, trusted figures become less certain, and the conflict grows from a family mystery into a war between worlds.
Morgan Moreau, the siblings' mother, hangs over the books like a long shadow. So do warlocks, old plans, and the feeling that these teenagers were pushed toward their roles long before they understood the game. The ongoing tension is not only whether Luke, Sam, and Jake can survive, but whether they can stay together long enough to resist the people trying to use them.
If you like fantasy that mixes prophecy with a rougher emotional edge, this series is an interesting fit. The books have magic, secret histories, and high stakes, but they keep coming back to family damage, loyalty, fear, and identity. That makes Disharmony feel less like a neat quest story and more like a collision, between worlds, between siblings, and between the selves these characters were made to be and the selves they might still choose.
