New to C.L. Mecca? Start Here for Romantasy and Vampire Romance
If you’ve found your way to my C.L. Mecca books and aren’t sure where to begin, the first question is simple: do you want to step into an imagined fantasy world, or discover the vampires hiding in a small town?
I write fantasy and paranormal romance as C.L. Mecca. That means you’ll find rival kingdoms, elemental magic, dangerous immortals, and love stories with plenty at stake. But you don’t need to read every series to find your way in. Choose the world that appeals to you, then start with its first book.
Here’s a guide to the offerings, the reading orders, and a free way to sample my worlds before you choose.
For romantasy: start with Heirs of Elydor
If your idea of an escape includes rival kingdoms, elemental magic, and forbidden love, start with Heirs of Elydor.
This series takes place in an imagined world, with a new couple and a happily ever after in each book. The shared world gives you a reason to keep exploring, while each romance brings its own emotional stakes.
Your first stop is Whisper of War and Storms. If you’ve been searching for the “Whisper of War and Storms series,” the series name you want is Heirs of Elydor.
Heirs of Elydor reading order
- Whisper of War and Storms
- Tide of Waves and Secrets
- Fate of Echoes and Embers
- Realm of Stone and Starlight
For your first visit to Elydor, follow that order. You can also explore the Heirs of Elydor series or read the Realm of Stone and Starlight excerpt for a glimpse of the world.
For vampire romance: start with Bloodwite
Prefer a small town with secrets beneath the surface? Bloodwite brings you to Stone Haven, where centuries-old vampires and old grudges complicate the business of falling in love.
This is the door to choose when you want paranormal romance, forbidden attraction, and immortal danger. Like Heirs of Elydor, it gives you a different romance in each book.
Begin with The Vampire’s Temptation, then follow the series in this order.

Looking for medieval romance with a touch of fantasy?
There’s another world you might enjoy: Kingdoms of Meria. It’s published under my Cecelia Mecca name, with a medieval setting and a touch of fantasy.
If you enjoy historical romance and want to try a little magic, that may be your next stop.
Still deciding which world to try?
You can take my C.L. Mecca series quiz for a recommendation or browse the C.L. Mecca books and reading orders yourself.
And if you’d rather sample the worlds before settling into a series, I have something for you.
Get Versions of You free and step into the vampire world
Versions of You is my multi-genre romance novella, and it’s free when you join my newsletter. It includes a glimpse into the vampire world, along with a romance that moves between the other Mecca Romance worlds.
When lightning strikes a small-town bookshop, its owner, Lena, is pulled into the pages of a centuries-old story. Caught between a noble knight, a dark immortal, and the man she thought she already knew, she must decide whether to keep reading about love or finally step into it herself.
If you’re curious about my vampire romances but aren’t ready to choose a full series, this is a place to start.
