Her growing attraction for Luc will lead her deeper and deeper into a world she'd only heard about, a world where everything she thought she knew will be turned on its head...

Jennifer L. Armentrout
Jennifer L. Armentrout has become one of the most recognizable voices in modern fantasy romance, known for weaving together dangerous worlds, heart-racing romance, and heroines who refuse to stay silent. Her stories rarely follow a straight path, love is tangled with betrayal, destiny collides with defiance, and the line between gods and mortals is never as clear as it seems.
She grew up in West Virginia, where her habit of scribbling stories during math class turned into the foundation of a career that would reach readers across the world. What began as a teenage escape soon grew into an expansive body of work spanning paranormal thrillers, contemporary romance, young adult fantasy, and her internationally bestselling romantasy series Blood and Ash.
Origin
In the Origin series, the secrets of the universe don’t lie in the stars—they’re hidden in the blood of those who were never meant to exist.
Spun from the addictive world of the Lux series, this next chapter isn’t just a continuation—it’s an evolution. The Origin novels dive into the dangerous lives of genetically altered beings created in the shadows of government labs, exploring a world where science, power, and emotion collide in explosive ways. But beneath the action-packed surface, this series pulses with questions about identity, autonomy, and what it means to love when everything about you has been engineered.
Origin consists of three primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
