Julie Johnson

Four courts. Two kings. One Remnant whose choice could change the fate of the realm. The final battle begins in this epic conclusion to the #1 Sunday Times bestselling series. -- Captured and alone, Rhya Fleetwood is fighting not to sink into darkness. With each passing day, her mind unravels and her power slips away—until there may be no magic, no hope…no more Rhya. Soren and Penn will flood, scorch, and destroy their way through Anwyvn to save the woman they love. But even if they succeed, the Rhya they find may not be the one they lost. The realm needs all four fated Remnants—Earth, Fire, Water, and Air—to restore balance. As prophecy looms and deadly sorcery rises in the Southlands, time is running out. Rhya must reclaim her rightful place before it’s too late. Her mind may be frayed, but some bonds cannot be broken—and some loves are so powerful, not even oblivion can erase them. -- Tropes:- - Enemies-to-lovers - High concept - Fae courts - Elemental magic - Kingdoms at war - Political intrigue -- Praise for the series:- "The Wind Weaver is a masterful fusion of epic fantasy and heart-pounding romance, equally relentless in its examination of dark themes as it is in bringing hope and magic to life.

Something changed for Rhya Fleetwood in the battle of Fyremas. Her untrained power feels both heavy with grief and volatile. Caeldera lies in ruins. Her friends are dead or wounded. And Pendefyre, their newly crowned king, is shutting her out. 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 power as well as her increasingly complicated relationships. The more insight their enigmatic King 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.

Romantasiasarjan toisessa osassa Rhyan on valittava tulen ja meren väliltä. Rhya Fleetwood on kyllästynyt olemaan pelinappula miesten sotapeleissä. Hänelle on vasta selvinnyt, että hän on tuulenkutoja, ilman ikiaikainen, ja nyt hänen on pakko oppia hallitsemaan vasta löytyneitä voimiaan - ja mielellään ennen uusia menetyksiä. Rhyan ja Pennin välillä leimuaa voimakas liekki, mutta tulen ikiaikainen tuntuu ajattelevan vain valtakuntansa jälleenrakennusta ja kostonjanonsa sammuttamista. Kaukaisesta saarikaupungista Rhyaa vetää kuitenkin puoleensa kokonaan toinen side. Veden ikiaikainen, kuningas Soren, eroaa Pennistä niin kuin usva kipinästä. Mitä enemmän hän kertoo Rhyalle tämän voimista ja ikiaikaisten kohtalosta, sitä hämmentyneemmäksi Rhyan olo käy. Saako hän voimansa ajoissa hallintaan - ja miten hän ehtii kuunnella sydäntään, kun salaperäisen profetian määrittämä kohtalo lähestyy vääjäämättä? Merenkehrääjä on Ikiaikaiset-trilogian toinen osa. Ensimmäinen osa Tuulenkutoja nousi välittömästi ilmestyttyään Sunday Timesin bestsellerlistan kärkeen. Trilogian kolmas osa ilmestyy keväällä 2027. Julie Johnson on yhdysvaltalainen bestsellerkirjailija, jonka uusin romantasiatrilogia Ikiaikaiset myytiin jo ennen sen ilmestymistä noin kahdellekymmenelle kielialueelle. Johnson on tullut tunnetuksi hänen romanttisista romaaneistaan.

Bursting with reawakened magic, a young woman challenges the tides of fate in this highly anticipated installment of Julie Johnson’s romantasy series . . . -- Something changed for Rhya Fleetwood in the battle of Fyremas. Her untrained power feels both heavy with grief and volatile, crackling with each pulse of her simmering rage. 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 power as well as her increasingly complicated relationships. For enigmatic King Soren of Llyr 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.

Med nyuppväckt magi utmanar en ung kvinna ödet i denna efterlängtade uppföljare i Julie Johnsons episka romantasy-serie! Allt förändrades för Rhya Fleetwood i slaget vid Fyremas. Hennes sorg är stor, hennes ilska explosiv. Caeldera ligger i ruiner. Hennes vänner är döda eller sårade. Och Pendefyre, deras nykrönte kung, stänger henne ute. Han behöver allt sitt fokus på sitt kungarike, sitt folk och – kanske mer än något annat – sitt omättliga behov av hämnd. När en ödets nyck leder Rhya till den sista plats hon förväntade sig – Water Court – tvingas den oerfarna vindvävaren konfrontera begränsningarna i sin otränade kraft och sina alltmer komplicerade relationer. För den gåtfulle kungen Soren av Ll r är lika olik Penn som gnistor är från havet. Ju mer insikt han ger henne i den magi som binder dem samman, desto mer förvirrad blir Rhya – om sin framtid, om sina djupaste önskningar och om sin roll i det kommande kriget. Fienderna cirkulerar, redo att slå till. Och om Rhya inte är försiktig kommer hon att förlora mer än bara sitt hjärta. Hon kommer att förlora sitt liv.

Sodan repimässä Anwynissa taikuus on vitsaus, ja puoliverisen Rhyan kaltaisten kohtalona on kuolemantuomio. Rhya kuitenkin säästyy, kun hänet kaappaa monin verroin pelottavampi vihollinen. Mitä pidemmälle Rhya joutuu kotoaan pohjoisen ylämaille, sitä vähemmän mikään on miltä näyttää, olipa kyseessä hänen pelottava vangitsijansa, valtakuntaa kurittava tauti – tai hän itse. Rhyan taikuus ei nimittäin ole tavallista laatua. Hän on yksi neljästä ikiaikaisesta, joiden on määrä herättää taika eloon ennen kuin sotaa lietsova tauti leviää – tai kuolla yrittäessään. Oman voimansa lisäksi Rhyan on kuitenkin myös opittava hallitsemaan uusia, vaarallisia siteitä, joita kasvaa hänen ja kahden muun ikiaikaisen, Tulen ja Veden välille. Miehet hallitsevat omia valtakuntiaan, eikä Rhya voi täysin luottaa henkeään kummankaan käsiin. Sydämestään puhumattakaan.

But Rhya’s execution is interrupted by an unexpected saviour.Because the strange birthmark on her chest means she is a Remnant — one of four souls scattered across Anwyvn, fated to restore the balance of maegic or die trying.Soon she is thrust into the lives of two very different men of two very different kingdoms. Both immensely powerful. Neither of whom she can fully trust with her life . . . or her heart.

An instant #1 Sunday Times bestseller Magic and adventure swirl through this spellbinding romantasy where a young woman reignites the embers of an ancient prophecy, unleashing a storm that could save her realm or doom them all. Fear of maegic plagues war-torn Anwyvn. Halflings like Rhya Fleetwood are killed on sight. But Rhya's execution is interrupted by an unexpected savior--one far more terrifying than her would-be killers. The mysterious and mercenary Commander Scythe. In the clutches of this new enemy, Rhya finds herself fighting for her life in the barren reaches of the Northlands. Yet the farther she gets from home, the more she learns that nothing is as it seems--not her fearsome captor, not the blight that ravages her dying realm, not even herself. For Rhya is no ordinary halfling. The strange birthmark on her chest and the wind she instinctively calls forth means she is a Remnant, one of four souls scattered across Anwyvn, fated to restore the balance of maegic...or die trying. But mastering the power inside her is only the beginning. Desire for the Commander--a man she can never trust, a man with plans of his own--burns just as fiercely as the tempests beating against her rib cage for release. Rhya must choose: smother the flames...or let them consume her.

LIMITERAD LYXUTGÅVA MED EXKLUSIV FÖRFATTARHÄLSNING TILL SVENSKA LÄSARE! "...den här boken var så bra! Som i "tvungen att avsluta den innan jag ens plockade upp Onyx Storm" - bra!" - Hayley Gallant, Goodreads, betyg: 5 av 5 Magi och äventyr i denna trollbindande romantasy där en ung kvinna återupplivar glöden i en gammal profetia och släpper lös en storm som kan rädda hennes rike eller döma dem alla. Halvblod som Rhya Fleetwood dödas direkt i krigshärjade Anwyvn. Men Rhyas avrättning avbryts av en oväntad räddare - en som är mycket mer skräckinjagande än hennes potentiella mördare: den mystiske och legosoldaten befälhavare Scythe. I klorna på denna nya fiende kämpar Rhya för sitt liv i de karga delarna av Nordlandet. Men ju längre hon kommer hemifrån, desto mer lär hon sig att ingenting är som det verkar - inte hennes skräckinjagande kidnappare, inte eländet som härjar i hennes döende rike inte ens hon själv. För Rhya är inget vanligt halvblod. Det märkliga födelsemärket på hennes bröst och vinden som hon instinktivt kallar fram betyder att hon är en av fyra själar utspridda över Anwyvn, vars öde är att återställa balansen ... eller dö. Att bemästra kraften inom henne är bara början. Begäret efter befälhavare Scythe brinner lika starkt som de stormar som slår mot hennes bröstkorg för att få utlopp. Rhya måste välja: kväva lågorna ... eller låta dem förtära henne.
