Heard the sequel’s protagonist is completely different; worried that jumping straight in might spoil the original’s magic system and character arcs.

Since 'Fated' is the original story, starting there is the obvious choice. The sequel builds directly on its character relationships and unresolved plotlines, so jumping ahead would leave you missing key context. Actually, thinking about series order reminds me of 'Marked by Fate', where the entire story hinges on a protagonist discovering her destiny was manipulated from birth—reading that one out of sequence would totally ruin the central mystery.

Reading the sequel first sounds bonkers, but hear me out: it’s like watching a prequel movie after the main trilogy. You spot all the clever foreshadowing! I did this with another series once, and spotting ‘future’ references in the original later felt like insider knowledge. 'Fated’s' sequel drops these cryptic lines about ‘what happened in the war,’ and when you finally read 'Fated,' you’re like, ‘OHH, THAT’S THE WAR.’ It’s a weirdly fun way to experience the story—but only if you don’t mind non-linear narratives. Otherwise, stick to publishing order.

Ugh, deciding which to read first is like choosing between starting a cake from the frosting or the sponge—both are delicious, but the experience changes! I’m a stickler for chronological order, so I’d say 'Fated.' The sequel assumes you’re already emotionally attached to the characters, and wow, does it play with that attachment. There’s a heart-wrenching twist in chapter 5 that only hits hard if you’ve lived through book one. That said, the sequel’s opening hook is insanely gripping—it almost makes me wish I’d read it first for the sheer ‘what led to this?!’ tension. Maybe flip a coin? Heads for chaos, tails for tradition.

Ohhh, 'Fated' and its sequel—what a great dilemma! I actually dove into the sequel first by accident (blame my chaotic Bookshelf), and it was... interesting. The sequel had this mysterious vibe where past events were hinted at but not fully explained, which made me wildly curious about the original. When I finally read 'Fated,' all those ‘aha!’ moments hit like a truck. If you love piecing together backstory like a detective, maybe try the sequel first? But if you’re the type who hates spoilers (even vague ones), start with 'Fated.' The first book builds the world so richly, and the sequel expands it in ways that’ll make you gasp—but only if you’re already invested.
Honestly, I kinda Envy you getting to experience this fresh. Both orders work, but they flavor the journey differently. My chaotic route felt like unearthing buried treasure, but my friend who read 'Fated' first said the sequel’s callbacks gave her chills. No wrong answers here—just different shades of awesome.

I’ve seen fandoms tear each other apart over this debate, lol. Personally? I think it depends on your tolerance for confusion. The sequel throws you into the deep end with jargon and relationships that ‘Fated’ explains slowly. If you enjoy figuring things out as you go (think ‘Elden Ring’ lore levels of mystery), go for the sequel first. But if you prefer to savor the world-building, ‘Fated’ lays such a gorgeous Foundation—the magic system alone is worth experiencing properly. The sequel’s pacing is faster, though, so if you’re impatient, it might hook you quicker. Either way, both books are stellar; just pick your preferred flavor of immersion!

Book Two of the Fated Series picks up six months later.
Alpha Dante Rosenthall has recently taken over for his father as Alpha of the Shadow Falls pack. He is known by everyone as a just leader who will fight for his pack until his very last breath if need be. However, there is still something missing from his life. He does not know what it is but knows that he will never be whole without it.
Ziyah Trelinin is Light Fae who was born from a powerful lineage of Protector Fae. She was held captive for thirty-seven years by Dark Fae. Being tortured day in and day out without fail threatens to fracture her mind as much as it fractured her body.
She is aided in escaping them by a musical voice she hears in her head for the very first time. It tells her that it is time to go to her destiny and that he can protect her. She escapes but is soon being followed by the enemy. She used to long for death but now longs for one chance to actually live and remember what freedom feels like. Ziyah makes it to the border of Shadow Falls but is severely attacked by wolves working for the Dark Fae.
The enemy will stop at nothing to get her back but are not the only threat. Dante uncovers a plot and secret alliance that can destroy everything his people have fought hard for.
Ziyah has scars that most cannot see but Dante does. His gift allows him to see inside– her pain, fears, and memories. Can he help her heal enough to let him into her heart?
The most important question is simple. How far are you willing to go to protect the one you love?

The one person in the world he would not want to be fated to. The one person he hates most in the world. Seren. Surely fate would not be so cruel to fate him to the one he hates?
But in a pack where tradition means rejection is frowned upon, Lachlan finds himself in a difficult situation. But, he has no intention of being with the person who causes him to live without his father.
Can the two live in peace together with the matebond simmering?

Ziyah's past is bearing down on her. The Klarish clan, the Dark Fae clan that had imprisoned and tortured her for thirty-seven long years until she escaped, are getting closer to finding her. It will be a bloody war, but everyone is fighting to free Ziyah from the chains of her past.

Book One: A Choice Lost to Fate
Book Two: A Choice to Survive
Book Three: A Choice Bound in Blood
For generations, every male born into the Black bloodline has shared the same fate:
Find their mate.
Love her.
Kill her.
The entire werewolf world knows the story of the cursed Alpha twins.
Vegas Black is obsessed with control. Every rule, every schedule, every decision is designed to prevent him from becoming the monster his father was.
Virgo Black is barely holding himself together. His wolf is violent, unpredictable, and responsible for the death of their first mate.
After burying the woman they were supposed to spend forever with, the twins made themselves a promise:
They would never love again.
Then they meet Kalani Taylor.
At eighteen, Kalani has spent her entire life proving she doesn't need anyone. She may not have shifted yet, but she's already the strongest warrior in Dark Falls Pack and determined to become a pack doctor.
So discovering she's mated to both cursed Alpha twins feels less like fate...
And more like a death sentence.
Forced to leave everything behind and move to Shadow Pack, Kalani quickly discovers the curse didn't just destroy the Black family.
It destroyed an entire pack.
Nobody gets too close.
Nobody questions the rules.
Nobody talks about the dead mate.
And nobody dares challenge the Alpha twins.
Until her.
The problem?
The more Vegas pushes her away, the more she wants to fight him.
The more Virgo tries to stay distant, the harder it becomes to resist her.
And for the first time in generations, the curse is reacting differently.
Because Kalani isn't just another mate.
She might be the one woman powerful enough to destroy the curse forever.
If the twins don't destroy her first.

Now they’re in a race against the clock and fighting a brotherhood of hunters to fulfill their part or future generations are doomed. The first task belongs to Brady and Kaida, but Fate can only take them so far. Can love do the rest? Fated Series: Bewitched is created by Kelly Moran, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.
The Fated series is one of those rare finds where the reading order actually enhances the experience if done right. I'd recommend starting with 'Fated: The First Thread,' which lays the groundwork for the entire universe. The protagonist's journey here feels so raw and personal, it's impossible not to get hooked.
After that, jump into 'Fated: Tangled Bonds,' where the world expands dramatically with new factions and deeper lore. The third book, 'Fated: Severed Lines,' takes a darker turn, but it's crucial for understanding the stakes. Some fans argue for skipping the prequel novella until later, but I think 'Fated: Unspun' works best as a palate cleanser after the main trilogy—it adds emotional depth to events you’ve already witnessed.
