Best Romantasy Books to Read in 2026 (If You Loved Fourth Wing)

Romantasy — where love meets magic

Romantasy — fantasy worlds with a real romance at the center — is the biggest thing in books right now, and if you've already torn through Fourth Wing and Onyx Storm, you're probably hunting for what's next. We pulled together what's actually in stock right now at The Ink Crypt for readers who want dragons, magic, and a slow burn in the same book.

1. Isle of Wrath by Claire Contreras — $25.00

An epic fantasy with real stakes and a dystopian edge, this one leans into world-building as much as romance. If Fourth Wing's scale is what hooked you, start here.

2. Caged Warrior by Lindsey Piper — $4.00

Part of the Dragon Kings series and a RITA Award finalist, this paranormal romance blends dragon-shifter fantasy with a fast-moving plot. Excellent value for the price.

3. Blood Warrior (Dragon Kings, Book Two) — $4.00

The next chapter in the Dragon Kings world — grab it alongside Caged Warrior if you want to stay in that universe longer.

4. A Hidden Fire by Elizabeth Hunter — $7.50

The start of the Elemental Mysteries series, mixing old-world magic with a slow-burn central romance. A favorite for readers who like their fantasy a little more literary.

5. Fated (Dark Protectors) by Alexandra Ivy — $7.00

Dragon shifters, ancient enemies, and a protector-and-charge dynamic that romantasy readers eat up.

6. Hard Magic (Paranormal Scene Investigations) — $11.99

Urban fantasy with a magic-meets-crime-procedural setup and a romance woven through the investigation. Great if you want something a little different from medieval-castle fantasy.

7. Kitty and the Midnight Hour by Carrie Vaughn — $3.50

A werewolf-DJ urban fantasy series starter, and the cheapest way on this list to try the genre if you're not sure yet.

All seven are in stock now and part of our Romantasy collection, which grows every time new fantasy-romance crossovers come through the door — including via trade-in. Have romantasy books gathering dust? You can trade them toward your next read through our Trade-In Program.
