The thrills, drama, and intrigue continue in the third installment of the Origin series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout

He is the darkest star.
You are the burning shadow.
And together, you will bring about the brightest night.

Less than a year ago, Evelyn Dasher was a normal girl, living an unremarkable life.

Now, she's on the run, under the protection of the beautiful, deadly inhuman Luc. She's been betrayed by those who were closest to her. And she's learned truths about herself that she never saw coming - things she once knew, and was made to forget. Truths with devastating consequences. She's caught in the eye of the storm.

She is the eye of the storm.

#1 New York Times, USA Today, and internationally bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns to the world of the Lux with this steamy, shocking third installment of the Origin series that will leave readers reeling.

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.

Armentrout’s writing stands out for its immediacy, sharp dialogue, characters who feel startlingly real, and worlds that balance raw intimacy with sweeping stakes. She often explores themes of identity, power, and choice, asking how far someone will go when love and survival are at odds. Her work has earned recognition not just from bestseller lists but also from readers who find in her stories a space where vulnerability and strength coexist.

Away from the page, she is open about her own journey, including living with retinitis pigmentosa, a condition that impacts her vision. Her willingness to share her experiences has only deepened the connection between her and her audience, many of whom see her as both a storyteller and an advocate.

With dozens of novels published, from the Lux and Covenant series to contemporary favorites and her recent expansion of the Flesh and Fire prequels, Armentrout continues to write at a pace as relentless as her plots. Her books invite readers into worlds of passion and peril, where every choice carries weight and every secret has the power to change everything.

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.

Told with Jennifer L. Armentrout’s signature blend of tension, romance, and razor-sharp dialogue, the story centers on characters who are as dangerous as they are vulnerable. These aren't heroes molded by fate—they’re survivors shaped by betrayal, rebellion, and the fragile hope of a different future.

What makes this series stand out in the crowded realm of paranormal romance and science fiction isn’t just the chemistry or the twists—it’s the emotional stakes. Every relationship is a risk, every truth comes at a cost, and every moment of tenderness has been hard-won in a world that treats feelings like a weakness.

For fans of genre-crossing stories with heart-pounding suspense and slow-burning romance, the Origin series offers a bold new lens on power and passion—where the most powerful weapon may be the one thing you were never supposed to feel.


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.
