Fractured Conclave is Vanessa Nelson’s most recent series, with books rolling out from 2024 through 2026. The story deals with broken agreements, political maneuvering, and characters who get pulled into conflicts they did not ask for. Titles like A Broken Contract and An Unwanted Heir give a good sense of the themes at play.
The series runs six books total. Nelson builds out the conflict gradually, starting with A Usual Suspect and expanding the scope with each new installment. Readers familiar with her earlier work will recognize her direct writing style and her habit of ending chapters on hooks that make it hard to put the book down.
