Courts of Aetheria is G.K. DeRosa’s fae court romance series. The four books — Crown of Light and Shadows through Crown of Smoke and Starlight — are set among fae royalty navigating political intrigue and dangerous romance.
Crown of Light and Shadows (2024) opens the series, with Crown of Flames and Ash following later that same year. The 2025 entries, Crown of Wrath and Ruin and Crown of Smoke and Starlight, close out the story. DeRosa released the full quartet in just over a year, so the series is already complete for readers who prefer not to wait between books.
DeRosa has written across several fantasy romance subgenres, and the Courts of Aetheria leans fully into fae politics and forbidden attraction. Readers who enjoy Sarah J. Maas-style court intrigue will recognize the territory here, though at four books the series is much shorter than some of its genre neighbors.
