Forgotten Kingdoms Books in Order

Forgotten Kingdoms is a multi‑author collection of stand‑alone fantasy romance novels linked by a shared prophecy. Each book follows a different heroine pulled into a dying or divided realm, asked to sacrifice everything to save her people, and offered one more chance at a love she thought lost.

Chandelle LaVaun’s contribution, Of Blood & Nightmares, focuses on Rhodelia, an overworked ER nurse from Los Angeles who never quite feels at home in her own life. On Halloween a knight drags her through the Veil into the realm of Terrea, where vampires are fading, kingdoms are crumbling and everyone insists she is their long‑lost queen reborn.

Rhodelia wants nothing to do with crowns, thrones or arranged marriages. All she cares about is finding a way back to Earth and rescuing the sister she left behind. Unfortunately the sacred Priestess has other plans, demanding she marry Prince Varan, a scarred, cold‑eyed heir who blames her past self for everything he lost.

What follows is a slow‑burn enemies‑to‑lovers story wrapped in political mystery. Rhodelia and Varan must diagnose a magical illness killing their people, navigate court factions who would rather see her dead, and decide whether they are willing to risk their battered hearts on each other a second time.

Because each Forgotten Kingdoms novel stands alone, you can read Of Blood & Nightmares independently or alongside the other authors’ books. It offers a slightly spicier, more adult experience than the earlier YA‑leaning Coven titles while still delivering the emotional beats fans expect: fated mates, hard‑won trust, and a hard‑earned happily‑ever‑after.
