Literary Universes

Series that share a world, characters who appear in each other's books, and tropes that repeat across sagas. Explore the connections that make every read richer.

Ana Huang

Anaverse

Ana Huang

Ana Huang's shared universe, where all of her books take place in the same world. It spans If Love, Twisted, Kings of Sin and Gods of the Game, and while every series can be read on its own, they're full of cameos and easter eggs across sagas, like Dante Russo, who shows up in Twisted Hate before getting his own story in King of Wrath. Possessive billionaire heroes, heroines with a backbone, plenty of smut and a guaranteed HEA in every story.

Sarah J. Maas

Maasverse

Sarah J. Maas

Sarah J. Maas's shared universe, where the fae courts of Prythian, the modern Lunathion of Crescent City and the world of Throne of Glass turn out to be connected. The crossovers become explicit starting with Crescent City, and every series can be read on its own, but reading them all makes the easter eggs and the reveals hit twice as hard.
