Candy Shorts Fantasy Series

Crowns, curses and slow burns

Fantasy is a compact shelf of 12 series, and the one that strays furthest from the family-drama formula. Think castles, covens and courts: queens who dare their guards, witches who bargain for crowns, vampires who play with their food. Every character is an adult.

It suits readers who want the same steamy tension in a different costume: oaths, crowns, curses and forbidden bargains, with a bit more plot around them.

Where to start

• Sworn to the Queen posts a low-born guard outside the royal bedchamber, where a touch could cost him his head. She enjoys testing the rule.
• Dragon Queen’s Dark Desire hires a healer for a queen who cannot shift forms, with magical creatures cheering her on.
• The Witch Who Made Me King gives a bastard knight a week to take the crown, with a witch who wants her price paid in nights.
• Vampire’s Lust is about a vampire who feeds and moves on until she meets the one man she refuses to take.
• The King’s Chambermaid pairs a king in a cold political marriage with the servant who dresses him each morning.

How to watch

All 12 are standard series, none of them Spicy, and Candy lists 5 episodes for each. Episodes 1 and 2 are free with a free Candy account, then it is Premium or 12 tokens per episode. Prices are a snapshot and can change, so Candy’s checkout shows the final price. The shelf also includes Cleopatra and Caesar and an elven-court story, Trespasser of the Sunken Court.
