Reigning Hearts Books in Order

Reigning Hearts is Evie Mitchell’s royal-romance series, set on the fictional Isle of Astipia. It follows members of the royal family as public duty, family expectations, scandal, and personal desire collide.

The stories are more politically charged than the author’s breezier small-town romances, but they keep her interest in body-positive characters, direct emotional stakes, and couples who must decide what they are willing to risk for a real relationship.

A crown comes with rules, whether anyone likes them or not.

The first book, The Marriage Claim, centers on Queen Katherine, who is under pressure to marry and produce an heir. Jonathan, a powerful political figure with ambitions of his own, saves her life and invokes an old royal custom that allows him to claim the right to propose. Katherine must decide whether his offer is about her, the crown, or both.

The wider series follows Katherine, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Leo as they face different versions of the same problem: how to build a private life when nearly every choice has public consequences. Family tradition and political maneuvering matter, but the romances remain central.

Readers can expect palace settings, formal obligations, sharp attraction, and the pressure of a country watching every move. Start with The Marriage Claim for the clearest entry into Astipia’s royal household.
