Start here: King of Wrath (2022) — then read straight through in publication order.

The order the books were released — the default way to read the series.
Kings of Sin is Ana Huang's billionaire romance series built on an irresistible hook: seven books, seven deadly sins, seven ruthless kings of Manhattan high society — each undone by the one woman he can't control. King of Wrath launches the series with an arranged marriage between a cold-blooded CEO and the jewelry heiress he's blackmailed into an engagement, and every subsequent book hands a different sin to a different member of the same interconnected circle: buttoned-up pride meets free-spirited chaos, a marriage quietly ending gets a second chance, a laid-back heir hides behind sloth, a scarred recluse burns with envy, a celebrity chef wrestles gluttony, and the finale saves lust for the group's most committed playboy.
The appeal is glamorous escapism with real emotional stakes. Huang layers fan-favorite tropes — arranged marriage, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, friends-to-lovers, grumpy-sunshine, second chance — over penthouses, galas, and private jets, then grounds them in heroines with their own ambitions and heroes whose armor cracks convincingly. Heat is high and doors are fully open, in line with the Twisted series that made Huang a BookTok staple; Kings of Sin shares that universe, with occasional cameos rewarding returning readers.
This is the series for readers who want billionaire romance with polish — fans of The Fine Print by Lauren Asher, Twisted Love itself, or classic arranged-marriage drama. Six books are out; the seventh and final sin arrives in 2027.
Start with King of Wrath and read in publication order: King of Wrath, King of Pride, King of Greed, King of Sloth, King of Envy, King of Gluttony, and finally King of Lust (the announced 2027 finale). Every book stars a different couple and delivers a complete happily-ever-after, so each works as a standalone — many readers jump straight to the sin or trope they're craving (Greed for second-chance marriage, Envy for obsessed-hero pining). Publication order is still the better experience: the heroes and heroines all orbit the same social circle, earlier couples reappear, and King of Lust is positioned to close out the group's story. Note that boxed omnibus editions exist collecting the early books — same content, no need to double-buy. You do not need to read Huang's Twisted series first, though it's set in the same universe.
Seven books are planned, one for each deadly sin. Six are published: King of Wrath (2022), King of Pride (2023), King of Greed (2023), King of Sloth (2024), King of Envy (2025), and King of Gluttony (2026). The finale, King of Lust, is scheduled for April 27, 2027.
Publication order: King of Wrath, King of Pride, King of Greed, King of Sloth, King of Envy, King of Gluttony, then King of Lust. Each book follows a different couple, but they share one interconnected friend circle.
Yes — every book is a self-contained romance with its own happily-ever-after. Reading in order just gives you the recurring side characters and cameo payoffs.
They share the same universe and occasional crossover cameos, but neither series requires the other. You can start with whichever appeals more.
King of Lust, the seventh and final Kings of Sin book, is scheduled for release on April 27, 2027 and is available for pre-order. It follows Killian, the last unattached member of the circle.
