The Black Lace series by Emma Holly spans over two decades of fiction, opening with The Silken Cage in 1995 and running through to Master of the Game in 2016. With 108 books in total, it covers a wide range of settings and scenarios, from titles with gothic atmosphere like Gothic Heat and Dark Enchantment to more playful entries such as Asking for Trouble and Up to No Good.

The series was most prolific around 2010, when a large number of titles appeared in rapid succession, including Dreaming Spires, Circus Excite, French Manners, and Templar Prize, among many others. Later years saw the pace slow, with a smaller cluster of releases in 2011 through 2013 and a single final entry, Master of the Game, appearing in 2016.

Reading in publication order is the best approach, as the series builds across its 108 books from The Silken Cage forward.
