Remnants of Magic, Book 1

By: Alicia R. Chapin

Narrated by: Naomi Rose-Mock

A forgotten magic. A divine calling. A forbidden love worth bleeding for.

Master Sword Bryan is an elite warrior on the prince of Shelkite’s council. When the realm is threatened by Ret, a powerful wizard-king, Bryan is ready to fight. But his plans are upended when he’s assigned not to the battlefield, but as the personal guardian of a young half-blood witch sent to aid Shelkite—Alexandra.

Bryan opposes Alexandra from the start. She’s proud, stubborn, reckless—and, in his mind, wholly unsuited for such a dangerous task. Alexandra, however, is determined to prove herself to the skeptical Master Sword. Though her powers have yet to fully manifest, she’s confident in her calling. With her loyal mount, Zhan, and her favored weapon at her side, she believes she’s ready to face her powerful uncle, Ret. Or is she?

The journey ahead holds more than Alexandra ever expected—including a bitter yet alluring warrior, and a destiny far more perilous than either of them imagined.

can't wait for book 2

this was an amazing story, the tension and love interests have me in suspense waiting for the next book. the narrator was great, there were actually a few times I swear I heard the birds chirping in the forests.

SO MUCH FUN!!!

Cannot get enough of this book! Fantastic story. Love the narrator. Will be following this series!

In a word; magical!

Now that I have finished the book, I am eagerly awaiting the next! This book shows so much creativity and imagination and has you rooting for the characters until the end. The characters were well developed and there are many relatable moments (even though the book is fantasy!). Plenty of characters and mythical creatures to keep your attention. Author makes you care about the characters and their fates. There were twists and turns that I never saw coming! 5 stars!

Both Nostalgic and Fresh

What I loved about Remnants of Magic was the feeling it gave me of being back in one of the beloved fantasy books of my childhood, but aged to meet my tastes as an adult. The familiar, comforting tropes had a new arrangement, zest, and adult perspective to them that I appreciated hearing at this stage in my life. The characters and their internal struggles felt very real and I am definitely looking forward to seeing the journey through to the end in the conclusion of Vol. 2. :)

Loved it

This is a great story and fantasy to get lost in. The main characters experience a lot of personal development and the plot is turning into a fantastic epic! Can’t wait for the next book!
