Honey and Ice Trilogy Books in Order

The Honey and Ice Trilogy is Shannon Mayer and Kelly St. Clare’s fae fantasy romance, beginning with A Court of Honey and Ash. Its heroine, Alli, is a half-human, half-fae orphan who has been trained to fear Underhill and the courts that rule there. Then the world she has been warned about stops being distant.

The fae do not ask gently.

Alli is caught between prophecy, court politics, and a forbidden love she has every reason to resist. The Seelie and Unseelie courts are not just pretty backdrops. They are power structures with rules, punishments, and people willing to use her. That makes the trilogy feel like a mix of romance, survival story, and political fantasy.

The first book pulls Alli into the truth of who she is and what others expect from her. A Throne of Feathers and Bone raises the pressure with accusation, flight, and dangerous alliances. A Crown of Petals and Ice pushes the trilogy toward crowns, prophecy, and the personal cost of choosing a side.

The romance matters, but it does not erase the rest of the stakes. Alli has to work out what love means when trust is expensive and everyone around her wants something. The best tension comes from that overlap between heart and politics.

Read the trilogy in order. It is built as one connected arc, and Alli’s growth depends on the sequence of reveals. If you like fae courts with sharper edges, reluctant destiny, and romantic tension that has to fight through power games, this is the place to start before moving into the wider World of Honey and Ice books.
