Throne Duet Books in Order

The Throne Duet is where Rina Kent hands the crown to a mafia heiress and lets her fight to keep it. Across two books, Rai Sokolov and Kyle Hunter battle for control of a criminal empire and, along the way, of each other.

Throne of Power opens with Rai already standing at the edge of a throne women are never meant to claim. She was born into a Bratva dynasty and raised to be a bargaining chip, not a leader, but circumstance and sheer will have put her in a position to grab real authority. The catch is that she needs a husband who can secure her claim.

The man she chooses is not a stranger. Kyle Hunter once served as her bodyguard, the quiet shadow who watched her back and learned all her weaknesses. Years later, he returns hardened by his time in a covert assassination program and interested in far more than just protecting her. Their arranged marriage becomes a battleground long before the wedding night is over.

In Throne of Vengeance, the wider world closes in. Rivals within the Bratva circle, enemies from Kyle’s past, and old debts from Rai’s family all crash together. Kyle has his own agenda and scores to settle, and the line between ally and enemy inside their marriage is often razor thin. They are constantly choosing when to trust, when to betray, and when to burn everything down rather than hand it to someone else.

The duet ties back to earlier corners of the Rinaverse, especially the Team Zero books, through Kyle’s history in the underground world of trained assassins. It also pushes forward into Legacy of Gods, because the Sokolov family’s choices echo into the next generation of heroes and anti-heroes.

Readers come here for a heroine who refuses to be sidelined in a male-dominated criminal world and a hero who is every bit as lethal as she is. The tone is ruthless, romantic, and often bloody, with plenty of politics, bedroom power plays, and questions about what kind of kingdom is worth ruling.

This page walks you through the duet in order, explains how it slots into the broader timeline, and helps you decide whether to read it straight after Team Zero and The Rhodes, after the Royal Elite books, or as a direct lead-in to the Deception Trilogy and Legacy of Gods.
