How to Read the Emerald Lakes Universe in Order

The Emerald Lakes universe by Britt Andrews has captured the hearts of urban fantasy and reverse harem romance fans with its blend of humor, magic, and emotional depth. The story centers around Saige, a green witch in a quirky small town, and her evolving relationships with four powerful mages. To fully appreciate the overarching plot, character growth, and romantic development, you should read the main series in publication order, followed by its spin-off duet.

1. The Main Emerald Lakes Series

The main series consists of five books that follow a continuous storyline. Reading them in order is essential, as each book picks up immediately after the events and cliffhangers of the last:

  • The Magic of Discovery (2020) – Introduces Saige, her magic shop, and the four mages (Cam, Fischer, Kai, and Sloane) who move in upstairs, sparking a prophecy and intense chemistry.
  • The Magic of Betrayal (2020) – Delves deeper into the town's secrets, introduces a mysterious demon threat, and tests the trusts and bonds between Saige and her mages.
  • The Magic of Revenge (2021) – Features Saige embracing a darker transformation to seek vengeance against those who threatened her loved ones.
  • The Magic of Destiny (2021) – Explores the high-stakes magical conflict and prophecy resolution as the group fights for their home and future.
  • The Magic of Eternity (2021) – The emotional final chapter that wraps up Saige's story and provides a hard-earned happy ending.

2. The Demons of Port Black Spin-Off Duet

After finishing the main Emerald Lakes series, you can transition directly into the spin-off duet, Demons of Port Black. This series shifts focus to Palmer and the Exiled, characters who are introduced during the events of Emerald Lakes. While it is a standalone story with its own protagonists, reading it after the main series avoids major spoilers and provides rich context for the shared world-building:

  • Demons in My Bed (2022)
  • Demons in My Head (2023)

What to Know Before You Start

Emerald Lakes is a paranormal reverse harem series, which means the main character, Saige, builds a committed romantic relationship with multiple male partners (specifically an MMFMMM dynamic). The books are known for their high levels of spice, humor, and emotional vulnerability, addressing themes such as body positivity, overcoming trauma, and mental health. While the setting has been compared to a magical version of Gilmore Girls' Stars Hollow, the stakes escalate significantly as the series progresses, making the chronological order the only logical path for readers.
