Iron Fey: Call Of The Forgotten Books in Order

Iron Fey: Call Of The Forgotten is a spin-off that picks up after the original Iron Fey arc and shifts the spotlight to Ethan Chase, Meghan’s younger brother. Ethan has grown up with one hard rule: if you can see the fey, don’t let them know it.

That rule stops working when the fey he’s spent years avoiding begin to vanish and something starts hunting him in return. Ethan isn’t a chosen hero with a magic sword, he’s a teenager who’s angry, scared, and tired of being pulled into his sister’s world. That edge gives this trilogy a more grounded feel, with plenty of scenes set in the human world where Ethan is trying to survive school, reputation, and real-life consequences while the supernatural keeps stalking him.

Ethan’s anchor is Kenzie, the one person who makes him want to try for normal. But “normal” is a shaky concept when the Nevernever keeps reaching through the cracks, and when Ethan’s connection to Faery makes him a target. The series leans into the push and pull between wanting to protect the people you love and wanting to keep them far away from the danger you attract.

It’s the Iron Fey world, but with sharper edges.

You’ll still see familiar corners of Faery, the Summer and Winter courts, old enemies, and the occasional talking cat, but the perspective is different. Ethan doesn’t want to be impressed by glittering halls or ancient titles. He wants answers, he wants the people around him to stop lying, and he wants to make it to his next birthday. That impatience changes the rhythm of the story, and it makes every bargain and alliance feel more tense.

A major thread through the trilogy is the rise of the Forgotten, dangerous fey tied to human belief, fear, and the act of forgetting. When the veil that keeps Faery hidden is strained, the resulting chaos feeds power to the wrong forces. Ethan’s missing nephew, Kierran, becomes central to the conflict, and the books keep asking how far someone will go to save the person they love, even if it endangers everyone else. The stakes escalate from personal survival to the stability of the boundary between worlds.

Reading order is straightforward: start with The Lost Prince, continue with The Iron Traitor, and finish with The Iron Warrior. It’s best enjoyed after the original Iron Fey novels, but the trilogy also works as a re-entry point if you remember the basics and want a faster, more intense ride through the Nevernever.
