Never List: Book 2
Publication Date: May 19, 2026
They said the trials were over.
They were wrong.
I survived the Choosing. I claimed my mates. I became immortal. But the kings weren’t finished with us yet.
Four princes. Four thrones. And a final season designed to decide if we’re worthy to rule. Every task is a test. Every smile is a lie. The people judge. The council votes. And the kings are waiting for us to fail.
I was never meant to be queen. I was an Ashlander who broke into a palace searching for her sister. Now I stand beside the Legends of Chaos, holding power the kingdom fears and love fierce enough to burn it all down.
To win the crowns, we’ll have to survive the Kings’ List.
Failure isn’t an option.
Because this time, we’re not just fighting for the throne—we’re fighting for each other.
The Never List series is best enjoyed in order.
Reading Order:
Book #1 The Never List
Book #2 The Kings’ List
When we last left the princes of Lumathyst, they watched their beloved mate fall prey to a deadly poison. However, Rylee Gray once again demonstrates why she, a nobody Ashlander, is worthy of becoming the new queen.
Author Jade Presley returns with The Kings’ List, which is the next installment in the romantasy series that started with The Never List. It’s not enough that the princes have chosen Rylee. Before the kings will turn the throne over to their sons, Rylee and the Legends of Chaos must complete seemingly impossible tasks.
With the kingdom under siege by a rebel group possibly led by Rylee’s sister and a designer drug sweeping through the population, Rylee must quickly get a handle on using her new magical powers.
The spice level continues to be off the charts with Jax, Axl, Pierce, and Kal each claiming a place in Rylee’s heart. However, before they can ascend to the throne, they face an unexpected evil enemy.
The world-building continues to earn high marks as the suspenseful adventure leaves readers on a cliffhanger, waiting for what happens next.
The Kings’ List combines magic with plenty of spice as the Lumathyst princes and their chosen mate wrestle with new challenges.
