A woman's search for her missing sister instead brings her four powerful princes of chaos in this steamy, why-choose romantasy perfect for fans of Bonded by Thorns, Gild and The Serpent and the Wings of Night.

For the last six years, the four chaos princes of Lusteros have been in search of a mate to share - one woman who is fated to be the balancing anchor to their infinite power. To find their match, they hold the Choosing Ceremony, bringing together the most eligible women in the kingdom so that they can find their true mate - something they've not succeeded in doing since they started their search.

Rylee wants nothing to do with Lusteros's royals. But when her sister goes missing at the palace, she has no choice but to sneak into the Choosing Ceremony in order to find her. Keeping a low profile, however, doesn't go to plan when she's chosen as the next potential mate for the princes. In order to survive, she'll have to make all four princes fall in love with her . . . but can she keep herself from falling in love in return?

After all, why choose one prince when you can have them all?

The Never List

The series

Full series details →

In a realm where immortality is both a curse and a crown, The Never List series invites readers to step into a world of dark magic, treacherous politics, and forbidden desire. The Choosing is a deadly ritual, one that selects an immortal's mate—and this time, the power-hungry princes are willing to risk everything to win her heart. But Rylee Gray, an Ashlander with a hidden divine bloodline, has no intention of playing their game. When she’s thrust into their dangerous world, forced to navigate betrayal, romance, and the fight for her freedom, everything she thought she knew about loyalty and power will be turned on its head.

Read full series description

The series weaves a tantalizing mix of intrigue and passion, where love isn’t just a reward—it’s a weapon. Rylee finds herself tangled in the lives of four enigmatic princes, each more complex and unpredictable than the last. As she uncovers the dark secrets of their world, she realizes the line between enemy and ally blurs in ways she could never imagine.

The Never List excels in building a world as intricate as the relationships at its core. The setting, a land where magic is woven into the fabric of every political maneuver, adds depth and mystery. Every twist feels earned, as characters evolve from enemies to reluctant partners, and Rylee’s own journey from outsider to ruler-in-the-making is a slow burn that grips readers with every chapter.

For fans of reverse harem fantasy with high stakes, The Never List combines deadly secrets, forbidden love, and an unrelenting exploration of power and betrayal. Each book leaves you craving more—until the very last page, where nothing is ever truly what it seems.

If you're drawn to stories that blend romance with a twist of dark magic, this series is the perfect escape. Will Rylee embrace her fate, or will she destroy it all to reclaim her freedom? The choice, in the end, is hers.
