The Royal Spares is a six-book fantasy romance series by Eva Chase, with books published in 2024 and 2025. The series follows characters who are second-tier members of a royal family – the spares rather than the heirs – as they discover they have more power and importance than their position suggests.
The court intrigue setting gives the series a more traditional fantasy atmosphere compared to Chase’s paranormal or contemporary romance work, with political dynamics and royal hierarchies shaping the story alongside the romantic plot. The six books build across a complete arc, and the series reflects Chase’s continuing output of new reverse harem romance series in varied fantasy settings.
