The Spellster series is Aldrea Alien’s largest body of work, spanning ten books from Willow (2016) through In Love and Death (2025). Each book follows a different spellster — a person born with magical abilities — through political dangers and romantic entanglements. In Pain and Blood (2017) and To Target the Heart (2020) are among the most popular entries.
The series includes both M/F and M/M romances, with To Target the Heart and To Poison a Prince (2021) featuring male leads falling for other men. Alien builds a world where spellsters occupy an uneasy place in society, feared for their power but needed by the ruling class. Titles like Someone Else’s Shoes (2021) and Tracking Trouble (2022) explore different corners of this world with new protagonists each time.
The ten books were published over nine years, with Alien maintaining a consistent output. Readers can enter the series at any point since each book tells its own story, but shared world details accumulate across the lineup. And the World Crumbled (2023) and In Love and Death (2025) represent the most recent additions.
