☕YA Fantasy
☕Found family
☕Animal companions
☕Fated love
☕Fantasy adventure
☕Overcoming social prejudice
I love this book! First off, Kyra and Sebastian are the sweetest pair around – they were married in their past life as the King and Queen and kept these memory bracelets so they’d be able to recover their memories when they were reincarnated. So they remember a lot of their past, but they’re a little different now so it’s like a new relationship all over and they’re just too sweet with each other.
Along with that, the story has a heavier theme of social prejudice and the desire to wipe out an entire population of people. Which both Kyra and Sebastian are working to prevent and only they have the ability to fight the powers trying to carry out this atrocity.
Using their magic, their past memories and their Cyphers (animal companions), they have to find a way to reunite the worlds and bring balance back to all people.

As Kyra and Sebastian struggle to navigate the differences between their past and current relationship, one thing’s part of fulfilling their destiny means accepting their fate. The choices they make will reach all the way into Death in this thrilling found family sequel to Reign Returned.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Katie Keridan made her literary debut at ten years of age when she won a writing contest by crafting a tale about her favorite childhood hero, Hank the Cowdog. After that, Katie has continued to write, through college and graduate school and during her career as a pediatric neuropsychologist. But while Katie enjoyed being a doctor, scientific research didn’t bring her nearly as much joy as creating her own characters and worlds, so she slowly left the medical world behind to focus exclusively on writing. In 2018 she self-published a poetry book, Once Upon a Girl, and her work has been featured in Highlights Hello Magazine, The Blue Nib, Youth Imagination Magazine, Red Fez, The Red Penguin Review, Sand Canyon Review, and Every Day Fiction, to name a few. Her debut young adult fantasy novel, Reign Returned, will be published by SparkPress September 2022. She loves sharing her writing with others who feel different, misunderstood, or alone. Katie lives in Northern California with her husband and two very demanding cats.
