I'm new to this author and just picked up 'King of Battle and Blood' because the cover was stunning. Had no idea it was part of a series until I got to the end and needed more immediately.
For fellow newcomers, yes, there is a second book. No, the story doesn't fully end on a cliffhanger, but it definitely leaves you wanting the next chapter in their saga. The transition between books feels natural—it's the same central conflict evolving.
I'm glad I didn't have to wait for the sequel. Reading them back-to-back was perfect. The order, in this case, was discovered in the best possible way: by accident and then with immediate satisfaction.

My practical tip: look at the book covers. The style and couple depiction are similar, but the titles are different. The one with 'King' is first. If you see a cover with the same couple in a darker setting, that's probably the second book, 'Queen of Myth and Monsters'.

Honestly, the order is straightforward if you just stick to the numbered series. 'King of Battle and Blood' is book one. 'Queen of Myth and Monsters' is book two. 'Goddess of Death and Dreams' is book three. That's the core trilogy.
There's a side novella called 'King of Blood and Battle' that fits in somewhere, but it's not essential to the main plot. I read it after finishing the second book and it was fine. Some people say read it after book one, others say after book two. It's a prequel-ish story from Adrian's perspective, so it doesn't drastically alter the sequence of events in the novels.
Just go 1, 2, 3 and you'll be perfectly fine. Don't overcomplicate it.

Wait, seriously? No sequel? But the world-building with the different vampire houses and the old gods felt like such a setup. There were all these loose threads about the previous queen and the origins of the curse. How are they just leaving that on the table? This feels like a missed opportunity for a epic trilogy.

Honestly, just google 'Scarlett St. Clair King of Battle and Blood series order'. The first result is usually the author's website or a reliable site like Fantastic Fiction that lists them in the correct reading order. It'll show the sequence as: 1. King of Battle and Blood (2021), 2. The King of Battle and Blood: The Origin (2021), 3. Queen of Myth and Monsters (2022). That's the definitive, no-guesswork answer.

My library only had Book 2 available first, so I waited. I'm glad I did. The week's wait built anticipation, and reading them in order was flawless.
Sometimes, patience is part of the reading process. Don't jump into the available sequel just because it's there. Wait for the first book. The continuity is tight enough that out-of-order reading will feel jarring, not intriguing.

I love complex timelines, so I enjoyed the challenge. If you're like me, you'll relish the moment a piece clicks into place. If you're not, you might find it annoying. Neither reaction is wrong. Know your own taste.

After 'King of Battle and Blood', you should read 'Queen of Myth and Monsters'. The dynamic between the protagonists undergoes significant strain in this book, which some romance-focused readers found frustrating. I saw it as a necessary evolution.
A relationship born out of conflict and necessity can't just become smooth sailing. Watching them navigate distrust, external pressures, and their own personal traumas felt more realistic and ultimately more rewarding than if they'd just been happy from the start. The conflict has purpose.
