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 tread carefully. But being careful won’t bring resolutions and answers. It won’t bring back lost memories or stop the nation hurtling into war.

The only thing that can make everything right is the ultimate sacrifice. But will Josie make it?

At the heart of it all is the magic that stole the memories of so many. The magic that some people will do anything to get their hands on. In a palace full of lies and betrayal, Josie and her friends must be careful who they can trust – or suffer the consequences.

  • #1 The Palace of Lost Memories
  • #2 The Echo of Broken Dreams

This series had me feeling all the emotions! I could read another 6 books about their adventures. Sad it had to end but what a great ending it was! CJ Archer never ceases to amaze me with her storytelling.

wonderful story

Throughout the series I enjoyed the storyline and happy ending. The only reason I cannot give the series a 5 star review is because of the f bomb. It didn’t fit and was not needed. There are other words that would have fit and not lowered the value of your series.

The storyline is very captivating and never disappoints

I like the character development and familiarization. Lots of players in the series and rarely moment of wondering the character speaking of or to or about.

I liked this story. Just the right balance of intrigue and romance. I respect the author for not drawing it out forever and ever to sell more books. I always get tired of that and never finish the series. The narrator is outstanding, as usual, truly one of the best in my opinion. I struggle with heroines who are constantly getting themselves in snaggled situations, but it all worked out. Recommend.

They say that all good things must come to an end. And so it is with C.J. Archer’s after the rift series. If you’re a fan of this series, I can promise you that all loose ends will be tied up, except for one. 😉
