Wrath and Fury Books in Order

Wrath and Fury is Tricia Levenseller's move into adult romantasy, and it keeps her usual fast pace while leaning harder into sex, politics, and power. The opening book, What Fury Brings, is set in a world where gender and marriage politics have been turned on their head. In the kingdom of Amarra, a failed rebellion against the matriarchy has left most noblemen dead, and women who want husbands are expected to kidnap them from other kingdoms. That one piece of world-building tells you immediately what kind of series this is. Bold, sharp-edged, and not especially interested in polite courtship.

The first story centers on Olerra, a warrior princess who is trying to secure her claim to the throne. She doesn't just need a husband, she needs the right husband, one who will help her outmaneuver a dangerous rival and prove that she has the strength to rule. Her plan is to seize a prince from an enemy kingdom. Instead, she ends up entangled with Sanos, a man whose identity and loyalties make the situation even messier than she expected. He wants to escape. She needs control. That push and pull drives both the romance and the political stakes.

Power is part of the love story here.

The setting matters because everything in this series seems to run through force, inheritance, and reputation. Olerra isn't making personal choices in a vacuum. Every decision touches the throne, the war, and the people around her. The result is a romantasy that feels less like a wandering quest and more like a pressure cooker. Characters are trapped by duty, tempted by attraction, and constantly measuring what they can gain or lose through the person standing in front of them.

Tonally, Wrath and Fury sits darker and hotter than Levenseller's YA books, but readers who already like her work will still recognize a few familiar strengths. The heroine is decisive. The chemistry is combative. The pacing moves quickly, and the dialogue doesn't waste much time on softness. There is plenty of tension built from clashing worldviews, forced proximity, and the fact that both leads have strong reasons not to trust each other.

Even in its opening volume, the world feels built for more than one romance. The court, the rival kingdoms, and the women around Olerra all suggest a larger web of loyalties and unfinished business. That makes the series feel broader than a single couple's story, even while the first book stays tightly focused on Olerra's fight for the crown.

If you want a romantasy where the woman has the sword, the plan, and most of the leverage, Wrath and Fury knows exactly what it's doing.
