Scarlett St. Clair’s A Touch of Darkness series takes the Greek myth of Hades and Persephone and gives it a modern twist. Persephone, the Goddess of Spring, is living in disguise as a mortal journalist, and finds herself indebted to Hades, the God of the Dead, after losing to him in a game of cards. There are two different ways to look at the A Touch of Darkness series order. Here’s both of them.

A Touch of Darkness Subseries Order

There are two different subseries in A Touch of Darkness. Hades x Persephone tells the story from Persephone’s perspective, while Hades follows Hades’ version of events. There’s a certain amount of overlap between the two, and one way to read the series is to go chronologically in each subseries.

The Hades x Persephone subseries can be identified by the use of the word “Touch” in the titles.

  • A Touch of Darkness
  • A Touch of Ruin
  • A Touch of Malice
  • A Touch of Chaos

Meanwhile, books in the Hades subseries each feature the word “Game”.

  • A Game of Fate
  • A Game of Retribution
  • A Game of Gods

The recommended reading order intersperses the two perspectives into a chronological timeline, and goes as follows.

  • A Touch of Darkness
  • A Game of Fate
  • A Touch of Ruin
  • A Game of Retribution
  • A Touch of Malice
  • A Game of Gods
  • A Touch of Chaos
