The Venatrix Chronicles Books in Order

Apprentice shade hunter Ayleth enters a competition to win the Golden Prince’s favor and escape her controlling mentor. Alongside rival Terryn, she confronts supernatural threats beyond the Great Barrier while questioning the loss of her memories.

Left to protect the borough while Terryn serves at court, Ayleth investigates his hidden talisman and a ghost connected to the Golden Prince. Her search brings her against a powerful phantom shade she must confront alone.

Ayleth and Terryn pursue a murderous witch who has crossed the Great Barrier. When their investigation leads to a three-year-old possessed by a powerful shade, Ayleth begins questioning her Order’s rules about killing the possessed.

Alone in the Witchwood, Ayleth encounters Dread Odile and questions the stories she has been taught about the Witch Queen. As the final conflict approaches, Ayleth, Terryn, and Gerard must confront the lies shaping their loyalties.

Fendrel holds Ayleth captive, intending to use her against the resurrected Dread Odile before executing her. Meanwhile, Prince Gerard is confined in his castle as the Witch Queen’s forces spread destruction and both captives struggle against imposed destinies.

Under house arrest with her shade suppressed by drugs, Ayleth searches for answers about Terryn, Lady Cerine, and Fendrel’s intentions. The arrival of a Phasmatrix and additional hunters raises the danger as betrayal closes around her.
