Blazing with reawakened magic, a young woman challenges the tides of fate in this highly anticipated installment of Julie Johnson’s romantasy series.

Everything changed for Rhya Fleetwood in the battle of Fyremas. Her grief is heavy, her rage volatile. Caeldera lies in ruins. Her friends are dead or wounded. And Pendefyre, their newly crowned king, is shutting her out. The Remnant of Fire needs all his focus for his kingdom, his people, and—perhaps more than anything—his insatiable need for revenge.

When a twist of fate leads Rhya to the last place she expected—the Water Court—the novice wind weaver is forced to confront the limitations of her untrained power as well as her increasingly complicated relationships. For enigmatic King Soren of Llŷr is as different from Penn as sparks are from the sea. The more insight he offers into the maegic that binds them together, the more confused Rhya feels—about her future as a Remnant, about her deepest desires, and about her role in the coming war.

Enemies circle close, ready to strike. And if Rhya isn’t careful, she’ll lose more than just her heart.

She’ll lose her life.

Full series details →

In the Reign of Remnants series, destiny is a heavy burden—and those who bear it must choose their path carefully. Set in a world ravaged by ancient wars and steeped in forgotten magic, this series weaves an intricate tale of love, power, and the search for redemption.

Read full series description

The story centers around Rhya Fleetwood, a healer who holds a secret: she is one of the Remnants, individuals marked by fate to bring about the world’s salvation—or its final destruction. As Rhya’s journey unfolds, she finds herself entangled with Commander Scythe, a man whose loyalty is as uncertain as the shifting winds themselves. Their relationship is a slow-burn mix of tension and trust, as they navigate a world where betrayal lurks behind every corner and love feels both like a weapon and a weakness.

The beauty of Reign of Remnants lies not only in its world-building but also in the raw emotion that pulses through its pages. The elements of air, fire, water, and earth are not just part of the landscape—they are living forces, tangible and powerful, affecting every decision and driving every battle. As Rhya’s powers evolve, so too does her understanding of her place in the world, and the responsibilities that come with being one of the Remnants. Each book delves deeper into the ancient prophecies, unveiling secrets that could change the fate of the world.

But it’s not just magic that makes this series stand out. The Reign of Remnants thrives on its complex characters and their evolution through trials of loyalty, betrayal, love, and sacrifice. As alliances shift and ancient truths come to light, the reader is swept into a world that feels both timeless and immediate—a place where every choice has consequences, and every action reverberates through the lives of those caught in the ever-looming shadow of fate.

With every turn of the page, the Reign of Remnants draws readers into a journey full of passion, danger, and discovery, where the stakes are high, and the magic is as unpredictable as the world itself. It’s a series for anyone who has ever wondered whether destiny can be outrun or if it must be embraced—even at the cost of everything they hold dear.
