The Wardbreaker Books in Order

The Wardbreaker series starts with Heart of the Thief, following Izzy Warden, a young woman who prefers to call herself a finder. She has a rare talent for getting past magical protections and locating things other people have lost, hidden, or very much do not want found.

That talent attracts the wrong kind of attention.

After stealing from a powerful magical family in New York, Izzy is brought before Asmodius, a dangerous figure who gives her a choice between punishment and work. The work involves a nearly impossible heist, and Asmodius assigns his intimidating son to make sure Izzy does not run. It is a bad situation made worse by the inconvenient attraction between them.

The series continues with Soul of the Storm, Crown of the Queen, and Heir to the Throne. Izzy's early job opens into a larger story of magical wards, powerful families, hidden objects, and conflicts that reach far beyond one theft. The books share a world with The Obsidian Order and The Devil of Harrowgate, though Izzy's story has its own clear entry point.

New York gives the series its texture. Behind the city's apartments, businesses, and crowded streets are wards, demonologists, magical crime networks, and people guarding secrets with far more than locks. Izzy's skills make her valuable, but they also make it difficult for her to stay independent.

The romance is an enemies-to-allies thread, built on sharp banter, forced proximity, and the practical problem of needing someone whose family might be able to ruin your life. Izzy remains the center of the story because every new danger tests her ability to rely on herself without shutting out everyone else.

Begin with Heart of the Thief for the heist, the magical world, and the first step into Izzy's larger conflict.
