Forgotten Kingdoms (Jen L Grey) Books in Order

Forgotten Kingdoms is a shared-world fantasy romance setting where different authors tell stand-alone stories inside the same realm. The books are designed so you can jump in anywhere, but they share a common flavor: fae politics, old magic, and romances shaped by bargains and power.

Jen L Grey’s contribution is Of Shadows and Fae. It’s a self-contained story that fits the Forgotten Kingdoms tone, with fae intrigue and romantic stakes that sit right alongside the larger world-building.

Shared worlds are fun because they feel big without requiring homework. You get a complete love story in one book, plus the sense that other corners of the realm are unfolding in other novels.

Magic always asks for something back.

If you’re coming to Forgotten Kingdoms through Jen L Grey, Of Shadows and Fae is the obvious place to start. From there, you can explore the wider shared world through other stand-alone entries, reading by author, trope, or whatever mood you’re in.

Expect romantasy vibes, court-level tension, and a story that treats the fae as beautiful, dangerous, and very hard to trust. It’s a good fit for readers who like complete arcs with a larger-world feel in the background.
