The Parched series is Z.L. Arkadie’s debut work, starting in 2011 with the title novel and running ten books through Forget Me Never (Part 2) in 2015. The series blends paranormal romance with a family saga, following interconnected characters through supernatural conflicts and romantic entanglements.
Several books in the series focus on different sisters (The Seventh Sister, The Fifth Sister), suggesting a family-centered mythology that expands with each installment. The later entries, Forget Me Never Parts 1 and 2, bring the saga to a close. Parched was Arkadie’s entry point into publishing, and many of the themes she explored here carried forward into her later billionaire romance work.
