The Wind Weaver

Johnson writes so beautifully and vividly that you can actually feel the sun's glare on your face and the gritty sand and rough terrain under your feet

Seriously, nobody does this better than Julie Johnson

In the war-torn world of Anwyvn, where maegic is seen as a scourge, halflings like Rhya are hunted down and hanged on sight. 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 epic, gripping romantasy debut which will steal your heart and take your breath away . . .

A PROPHECY REIGNITED. 
A STORM UNLEASHED. 
A LOVE THAT COULD SHATTER EVERYTHING. 
 
In war-torn Anwyvn, fear of maegic plagues every corner of the kingdom and halflings like Rhya Fleetwood are hunted and killed. 
 
When Rhya is sentenced to death, her execution is interrupted by an unexpected savior, the formidable Commander Scythe – a merciless fighter on the battlefield, Scythe is far more terrifying than the hangman’s noose. 
 
In the clutches of this new enemy, Rhya finds herself forced to travel to the Northlands with her fearsome captor. 
 
But she 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 fated to restore the balance of maegic . . . or die trying. 
 
But mastering this power is only the beginning. A forbidden desire for the Commander starts to burn fiercely while this tempest within her is waiting to be released. 
 
And Rhya must choose: her heart or the Kingdom?
