Publisher's summary

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.

The Return of Absent Souls is the final book in the After The Rift series. The books in order are:

  • #1 The Palace of Lost Memories
  • #2 The Echo of Broken Dreams
  • #3 The Whisper of Silenced Voices
  • #4 The Temple of Forgotten Secrets
  • #5 The Prison of Buried Hopes

the perfect conclusion

It left me guessing right up to the very end. I'm more than satisfied with how their story wraps up.

wonderful story

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.

an interesting ending but it'll do

This was a fitting ending. I read all siz in the series back to back. I feel like the main female character got worse until the last hour when she finally stood up for herself, each book I became a bit more disappointed. I adore how the palace staff grew and learning more about thier lives. I can't imagine how the author choose a select few of the 1000 characters to elaborate on.

loved this series!

This was just a delightful series! I loved the characters. A couple characters offered comedic relief at times. It was fun, fantastical, and witty.

Estate completions theoughout.

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.

The Perfect Ending

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. 😉
