The Royal Family of Ruthenia series follows the members of a fictional European royal family across seven books. Starting with Royal Seduction in 1983, the series traces different generations and branches of the family through romance and political intrigue. The later entries (Kane, Luke, Roan, Clay, Wade) shift focus to descendants who have settled in Louisiana, connecting this series to Blake’s wider body of Louisiana fiction.

Blake uses the royal family as a way to move between European and American settings while keeping a family saga thread running through the books. The series spans from 1983 to 2009, covering more than two decades of her career.
