Romantasy has climbed to the top of the charts this past year, and fortunately for us, the genre comes in all shapes and sizes. Whether you prefer immortal political intrigue, century-old pining, or a shadow-lord who treats you like royalty, we’ve got the books for you. In these stories, ‘I would burn the world for you’ becomes the baseline lover behaviour. Don’t know which one is your perfect match? Check out the eligible bachelors (and bachelorettes) below who might capture your heart.

He’ll lock you in a magical deal, teach you how to fight, and secretly spend centuries pining over from afar. We give to you: the Fae boyfriend.

And if you’re picking Team Fae, Brimstone is your next favourite read. The morally grey Kingfisher will make you swoon, particularly if you like your boyfriend to be a brooding warrior prince with sharp ears and even sharper teeth.

Dragon-rider heroes bring a special intensity to romantasy. Between life-or-death aerial battles and telepathic bonds formed in the skies, a dragon-rider will burn the world down just to keep you safe.

For those who love their romance served with a side of scales, fire, and tension, we give you Rider of Dragons. Qais will become your favourite romantasy lead, fully decked in leather armour and a fire-breathing beast at his back.

Does dark and dangerous sound like your type? You might just have to give in to temptation to a morally grey, sinfully handsome demon lover.

A. T. Emerald’s Under the Iron Sky is a dark military romantasy, perfect for those who crave delicious chemistry, slow-burn romance, and enough enemies-to-lovers tension to keep you up until the early hours of the morning. You’ll find yourself rooting for Ikarus, the legendary Demon and the Dar’rak’s most feared (and most beautiful) soldier.
