These books can be read in any order.
Book 1
Death marked her from her very first breath.
Being sired by a Madrid is supposed to be a blessing, but for Tempest, it's a curse that leaves her orphaned, penniless, and enslaved to a blood thirsty crown on the brink of war.
Found too unruly to become a ward of the court, she's thrust into the care of the King's Hounds—the assassins and warriors responsible for protecting the kingdom. Driven by rage and an oath to avenge her mother's memory, Tempest throws herself into training.
But becoming the first ever female assassin isn't enough. Now, she must obtain the heart of her kingdom's most feared enemy—the jester—a deadly shapeshifter hidden in a land twisted by myth and darkness.
Revenge is never easy or cheap. Tempest is willing to sacrifice everything to see justice served. Even her own soul and freedom.
Enter the world of the Twisted Kingdoms at your own risk where monsters wear pretty masks, good and evil are at war, and fairy tales don't exist. If you love fiery heroines, sexy villains, enemies-to-lovers romance, pulse-pounding action, mafia undertones, and dark fairy tales, you need to discover the new series readers are comparing to Holly Blacks's Cruel Prince and Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows.

Book 2
The Dark Court is no place for a lady.
After tricking the king, Tempest has finally won her long sought-after prize—a place on the king's council—but it comes with a steep price. The king wishes for her to once again infiltrate the Jester's Dark Court and crush the remaining rebellion.
Stuck between her duty to her kingdom and her duty to what is right, she throws herself into the assignment, determined to discover her true enemies. Slipping into her role as the Jester's fiery plaything and personal assassin comes with an ease that terrifies her.
The charming and dangerous shapeshifter makes it too easy to forget her purpose and tempts her to join his world of depravity and eternal night. But Tempest is no man's pawn. Her destiny was never to sit back passively.
She makes her own path. Even if it's painted with blood, strewn with bodies, and scattered with the pieces of her broken heart.

Book 3
All hail the assassin queen.
Becoming the depraved king’s consort was never the plan–neither was being tossed in the turbulent waters of the Crown’s court–but Tempest was trained to roll with the punches. Even if it means getting her hands dirty and betraying what her heart wants the most.
But being the king’s betrothed is no protection. One wrong move, she finds herself in more danger than she ever imagined. Surrounded by too many corrupt enemies and not sure whom to trust, Tempest turns to the only person who is more devious than Destin – the Jester.
With war looming on the horizon, Tempest is thrust into his seductive Dark Court once. The time for indecision is over. She must set aside her prejudice and pick a side before the king destroys all that she holds dear – including her wily kitsune.
Falling for the enemy is always dangerous. But living without your mate is even worse.
Book 4
Making deals with the devil is never wise.
Living on the outskirts of society taught Thorn three vital lessons. Money and beauty bought everything, people were obsessed with treasure, and no one returned from the beast's territory.
No one, but Thorn.
When she's commissioned to retrieve a special flower from deep within the mountains, she knows it's a bad idea to tempt fate again, but is left with little choice when she's blackmailed into accepting the job.
It was supposed to be a simple extraction.
Ambushed and captured by the cursed dragon she hoped to avoid, the cloaked shifter gives her two choices. Play his wicked game or pay for her transgressions in blood. Despite the way his deep voice sends shivers down her spine, or the way he seems to soften toward her, she knows there's only one way their games will end.
Blood would be spilled, just not her own.

The fairytales had it wrong. Robin Hood was a woman.
Coming home from war wasn't what Robyn expected. Relegated as lady of the manor, with the threat of an arranged marriage to the very man trying to steal her land, she refuses to be sidelined.
When the duke's men accost a shifter family in the woods, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Robyn joins the fray and recieves help from an unlikely source. A Dragon. But no good deed goes unpunished.
She never meant to become a hooded rogue wanted by the very man intent on securing her as his wife, nor falling for the rakish dragon king determined to whisk her away to his lair.
Trapped between two worlds, Robyn has to make a difficult choice. Duty and honor, or love and family.
