Publisher Description

From a multi-USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author comes this romantasy (romantic fantasy), the final in a 6-book series.

In this stunning conclusion to the AFTER THE RIFT series, Josie and her friends return home to find Glancia on the brink of war and their enemies in power. With political machinations and court intrigue bringing danger at every turn, they must be careful who they trust. But being careful won't bring resolutions. It won't bring back lost memories or stop the kingdom hurtling towards disaster.

At the heart of it all is the magic that stole the memories of so many. The magic that everyone from kings to commoners will do anything to get their hands on. The sorcerer's remaining wishes have the power to give back what is lost or take away even more.

Josie will do anything to protect her home and friends – but what if it means making the ultimate sacrifice?
