      The Daughters of Eville Series in Order

      by Chanda Hahn

      The Daughters of Eville series can be read in any order, though starting with Of Beast and Beauty provides the clearest introduction to the setting and recurring characters. Each book follows one of Lady Eville’s adoptive daughters as she is sent on a mission into one of the seven kingdoms, where she navigates a twisted fairy-tale fate, romance, and her own sense of right and wrong.

      How to Read the Daughters of Eville series

      🟡 Mostly Standalone · Start Anywhere

      Mostly standalone stories with recurring characters in a shared setting.

      The Daughters of Eville series does not need to be read in order. Each book tells a complete story with its own fairy-tale retelling, romance, and resolution focused on one daughter. Continuity is limited to the shared world of the seven kingdoms, Lady Eville’s background schemes, and occasional family references or cameos. Reading out of order causes no confusion, as every novel stands fully on its own while enriching the larger universe for those who read more than one.
