8 books like Fourth Wing for your next romantasy binge

Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing nailed a very specific high: deadly stakes, a sharp heroine, banter that crackles, and a slow-burn that pays off. Here are eight that scratch the same itch.

1. A Court of Thorns and Roses — Sarah J. Maas

The cornerstone of modern romantasy. If you haven’t, start now.

2. From Blood and Ash — Jennifer L. Armentrout

Forbidden romance, big twists, and the same can’t-stop momentum.

3. Throne of Glass — Sarah J. Maas

An assassin, a competition, and a sprawling series to sink into. Trials and tension galore.

4. Zodiac Academy — Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti

Magic-academy drama with enemies-to-lovers and serious bingeability.

5. The Serpent and the Wings of Night — Carissa Broadbent

A deadly tournament, a vampire rival, and a slow-burn made for Fourth Wing fans.

6. A Deal with the Elf King — Elise Kova

A human bargained to a fae king. Cozy-leaning romantasy with a satisfying arc.

7. The Bridge Kingdom — Danielle L. Jensen

Warrior princess, enemy king, espionage and sparks. Tropey in the best way.

8. Crescent City — Sarah J. Maas

For more grown-up stakes and a mystery thread alongside the romance.
