6 Romantasy Series for Your Next Binge-Read

Updated for 2026: This reader-favorite list has been refreshed with completed romantasy series you can binge all the way through—no waiting for the next book required.

There are few things worse than falling hopelessly in love with a fantasy world, devouring every available book...and realizing the story isn't finished yet.

Now you're stuck.

Waiting.

Possibly for years.

So this list is for readers who want the opposite.

These six romantasy series are complete, which means you can meet the characters, fall for the morally questionable love interest, survive the betrayals and cliffhangers, and keep reading straight through to the ending.

No waiting required.

Whether you love gothic fantasy, fae courts, political intrigue, slow-burn romance, or enemies who really should stop trying to kill each other and kiss already, here are six completed romantasy series ready for your next binge.

1. The Shepherd King Duology by Rachel Gillig

Binge Details: 2 books • Completed • Gothic fantasy romance

If you want something dark, atmospheric, romantic, and refreshingly different from the usual fae-filled romantasy, start here.

One Dark Window introduces Elspeth Spindle, a young woman living in a kingdom infected by dangerous magic. But Elspeth has a secret of her own: there's a monster living inside her mind.

When she crosses paths with a mysterious highwayman, she's pulled into a dangerous quest involving twelve magical Providence Cards—the key to curing the kingdom before the magic consuming it becomes impossible to stop.

And yes, there's romance.

Popular Tropes

• Forced proximity

• Slow burn

• Gothic atmosphere

• Magic with a price

• Morally complicated characters

• Found family

Why Readers Love It

The magic system alone makes this duology worth reading, but the dark fairy-tale atmosphere, tension, and romance make it incredibly easy to disappear into. And because it's only two books, this is a perfect weekend binge.

Start with: One Dark Window

2. The Remnant Chronicles by Mary E. Pearson

Binge Details: 3 books • Completed • YA fantasy romance

Princess Lia has no intention of marrying a prince she's never met. So on the morning of her arranged wedding, she runs away.

Unfortunately, two men follow her.

One is the jilted prince.

The other is an assassin sent to kill her.

And Lia has no idea which is which.

The Kiss of Deception kicks off a completed trilogy filled with political intrigue, warring kingdoms, secrets, betrayal, romance, and a heroine whose decisions eventually carry consequences far greater than escaping an unwanted marriage.

Popular Tropes

• Runaway princess

• Hidden identities

• Love triangle

• Political intrigue

• Enemies and alliances

• Slow-burn romance

Why Readers Love It

The identity mystery in the first book makes this series particularly fun to binge because you're constantly questioning who you can trust. But the story also grows considerably in scope as Lia's personal choices become tangled in the fate of kingdoms.

Start with: The Kiss of Deception

3. Kingdom of Lies by Stacia Stark

Binge Details: 4 books • Completed • NA/adult fantasy romance

This is our new addition—and I think it gives the refreshed list exactly the shot of newer romantasy it needed.

Prisca has spent her life hiding the forbidden power flowing through her veins. In a kingdom where possessing magic can mean death, survival depends on keeping that secret.

Until she can’t.

Forced to flee, Prisca finds herself entangled with Lorian—a ruthless, secretive mercenary who offers to help her, but certainly isn't doing it out of the goodness of his heart.

What begins as an uneasy alliance grows into something much more dangerous as secrets unravel, kingdoms collide, and Prisca discovers that almost nothing about her world—or Lorian—is quite what it seems.

The completed Kingdom of Lies series runs four books, from A Court This Cruel & Lovely through A Queen This Fierce and Deadly.

Popular Tropes

• Enemies to lovers

• Forced proximity

• Forbidden magic

• Fae

• Morally gray hero

• Political intrigue

• Found family

• Slow-burn tension

Why Readers Love It

If your ideal romantasy involves dangerous magic, betrayals, court politics, a powerful heroine coming into her own, and a hero you're never entirely sure you should trust, this one has plenty to binge.

It's also an adult/NA recommendation, so expect considerably more heat than some of the YA series on this list.

Start with: A Court This Cruel & Lovely

4. Once Upon a Broken Heart Series by Stephanie Garber

Binge Details: 3 books • Completed • YA fantasy romance

Evangeline Fox believes in true love.

Unfortunately, the boy she loves is about to marry someone else.

Desperate to stop the wedding, Evangeline makes a deal with Jacks—the dangerously charming Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given whenever and wherever he chooses.

What could possibly go wrong?

Quite a lot, as it turns out.

The resulting trilogy is filled with curses, bargains, magical places, heartbreak, fate, yearning, and the increasingly complicated question of whether a villain can ever be trusted with your heart.

Popular Tropes

• Deal with a magical bad boy

• Curses

• Slow burn

• Fate versus choice

• Morally gray love interest

• Fairy-tale atmosphere

• "Who did this to you?"

Why Readers Love It

This series feels like stepping into a dangerous storybook. It's whimsical without being fluffy, romantic without relying on spice, and absolutely packed with yearning.

And Jacks?

Enough said.

Start with: Once Upon a Broken Heart

5. Artefacts of Ouranos by Nisha J. Tuli

Binge Details: 4 books • Completed • Adult fantasy romance

After twelve years imprisoned by the Aurora King, Lor wants one thing: freedom.

Instead, she's mysteriously released only to find herself competing against nine other women in the Sun Queen Trials, where the winner will marry the Sun King.

If Lor wins, she could finally gain the power she needs to take revenge on the man who imprisoned her.

If she loses?

She may not survive at all.

And that's only the beginning.

The Artefacts of Ouranos series spans four primary novels, concluding with Tale of the Heart Queen.

Popular Tropes

• Deadly competition

• Enemies to lovers

• Fae courts

• Revenge

• Political intrigue

• Forced proximity

• Powerful heroine

• High-stakes romance

Why Readers Love It

If you like your romantasy big—multiple kingdoms, powerful rulers, magical artifacts, betrayal, revenge, and plenty of romantic tension—this gives you four books to disappear into.

Start with: Trial of the Sun Queen

6. The Folk of the Air Trilogy by Holly Black

Binge Details: 3 main novels • Completed story arc • YA faerie fantasy with romance

Jude Duarte is human.

Unfortunately for her, she grows up in Faerie.

Surrounded by beautiful, immortal creatures who despise mortals, Jude doesn't dream about escaping their world.

She wants power within it.

And standing in her way is Prince Cardan: cruel, arrogant, infuriating—and considerably more complicated than Jude initially realizes.

What follows is less a traditional romance-first romantasy and more a vicious game of political maneuvering, ambition, betrayal, power, and attraction between two people who are both very good at hurting each other.

The core Jude/Cardan story runs through The Cruel Prince, The Wicked King, and The Queen of Nothing. Holly Black has written additional stories set in Elfhame, but you can binge this central trilogy through its complete ending.

Popular Tropes

• Enemies to lovers

• Fae

• Court politics

• Scheming and betrayal

• Morally gray characters

• Human in a magical world

• Knife-to-the-throat tension

Why Readers Love It

Jude isn't waiting for someone to save her.

She wants power, and she's willing to become dangerous enough to survive among the Folk who have spent her entire life reminding her that she doesn't belong.

If you prefer political intrigue with a strong romantic subplot rather than romance dominating the entire story, this is an especially good pick. That distinction is still how readers describe its appeal today.

Start with: The Cruel Prince

Ready for Your Next Romantasy Series Obsession?

Maybe you're perfectly happy waiting for the next book after all.

If forbidden love, slow-burn yearning, morally conflicted heroes, sacred vows, and romance with the power to start a war sound like your kind of story, I have another world waiting for you.

A Song of Light and Shadow is the first book in my upcoming Vowsong Trilogy, a New Adult romantasy about a young woman who joins a holy military order to escape an unwanted marriage—and falls for the captain whose sacred vows forbid him from ever loving her.

Just don't say I didn't warn you: unlike every series above, this one isn't finished yet.
