YA Books About Royalty: Fantasy Royals

09.13.2020 by Jen Ryland // 4 Comments

Who doesn’t love a romantic book about romance amidst a monarchy and a royal court?

Because there are SO many royal YA books, I’m doing three separate lists: contemporary royal romances, historical royal romances, and YA royal fantasy romance!

YA Books About Royalty: Fantasy Royals is a list comprised of YA books about royalty focusing on fantasy and royal romance.

YA Books Featuring Fantasy Royals

Fantasy royal books offer the opportunity to incorporate imaginary kingdoms, magical elements, fae and fairy characters, and/or all kinds of supernatural happenings into a story. Royal romance is usually part of the story!

Hope you enjoy YA books about Royalty: Fantasy royals and I hope you will add your own favorite titles in the comments!

UPDATED in 2023! Great new titles and a lot more diversity in the YA Royal Fantasy genre!
