Jacqueline Carey Books in Order

Carey's early nonfiction book looks at how angels have been imagined across legend, religion, and visual art. It is a compact, illustrated guide to the stories and symbols that have shaped angel lore.

Sold into servitude as a child, Phèdre nó Delaunay is trained as both courtesan and spy in the angel-touched land of Terre d'Ange. When treason strikes, she and the warrior-priest Joscelin race to save a kingdom.

Peace does not last long for Phèdre. Drawn back into court intrigue, foreign politics, and Melisande's orbit, she must balance loyalty, desire, and survival as threats gather around the throne of Terre d'Ange.

A decade of peace ends when Phèdre is pulled into a quest tied to old enemies and a missing child. The search carries her and Joscelin across seas, into prophecy, and toward powers older than any throne.

In a world broken by a war among gods, Satoris is remembered as the great villain of history. Carey retells an epic struggle from the losing side, where prophecy, loyalty, and grief matter as much as battle.

The tragedy of The Sundering closes as prophecy tightens around Satoris and the enemies marching against him. Old loyalties crack, long plans come due, and the line between hero and monster gets harder to trust.

Adopted by Phèdre and Joscelin, young prince Imriel de la Courcel is still marked by his parents' crimes and his own brutal past. A trip abroad turns into a siege, a cult, and a hard test of who he means to become.

Back from his studies, Imriel finds his forbidden love for Sidonie burning hotter than ever. Duty pulls him toward an arranged marriage, while dark magic in Alba turns desire, politics, and succession into a dangerous trap.

When Imriel and Sidonie finally claim their love, Terre d'Ange erupts in anger over old betrayals. To win a future together, Imriel must face rebellion, royal politics, and the long shadow of his mother Melisande.

Moirin, born of Alba's old magic and D'Angeline blood, is called toward a destiny beyond her forest home. Her journey leads from Terre d'Ange to Ch'in, where desire, politics, and ancient powers test her gifts.

Loup Garron grows up in a forgotten town beside a military zone, carrying the engineered strength and fearlessness of her fugitive father. When her community is pushed too far, she becomes their masked champion and their risk.

Separated from the man who carries the other half of her soul, Moirin travels across hostile lands to find Bao. The road is full of betrayal, hard choices, and enemies eager to use faith and desire against her.

Back in Terre d'Ange, Moirin finds a royal family in grief and a child princess caught in dangerous politics. An oath of protection sends her toward Terra Nova and a final reckoning with old mistakes and unfinished love.

After escaping custody, Loup and Pilar build a new life far from Santa Olivia, only to be pulled back by the people they left behind. Returning home means facing outlaw status, old enemies, and a chance to fight for real change.

Daisy Johanssen is Hel's liaison in Pemkowet, a Michigan resort town where humans and eldritch folk live side by side. When violence disturbs the balance, she has to untangle mortal secrets and supernatural trouble fast.

An angel appears without explanation in the small town of Utopia, unsettling ordinary lives in quiet ways. Carey uses a touch of magic realism to look at wonder, gossip, and the fragile routines of a community.

Daisy thinks life in Pemkowet is finally settling down, until her boyfriend's family drags Obeah magic to town. With spirits rising and time running out, she has to protect both her relationship and the town's uneasy peace.

Winter should make Pemkowet quieter, but a nightmare-feeding predator starts hunting and a lawsuit threatens Hel's authority. Daisy must track the killer and defend her town before the whole supernatural bargain falls apart.

Dala is chosen to serve as an exalted slave in a valley ruled by conquest and ritual. In a short, sharp fantasy tale, Carey ties purification, power, rebellion, and mercy tightly together.

Carey reimagines The Tempest from the island outward, centering lonely Miranda and the feral boy Caliban. Their fragile bond grows under Prospero's control, turning a familiar story into something more intimate and tragic.

Khai is raised as a desert warrior and sworn protector to Princess Zariya, but his fate carries a secret of its own. Court intrigue, prophecy, and a rising dark god push both of them toward a vast, sea-crossing quest.

This return to Terre d'Ange retells Kushiel's Dart through Joscelin's eyes. As a sworn warrior-priest protecting Phèdre, he faces betrayal, captivity, and an impossible love that puts every vow under strain.
