Amazon / Goodreads

The Convergence: Restoration by Richard French is the second book in The Convergence Series, a romantic fantasy between Samantha Reed and Connor Blake, that crosses generations.

The Federation has taught that magic is made up of opposing force that must never unite…but that is not the truth of the matter. Do you believe in reincarnation? That a soul can travel across time and existence and be reunited?

Magic. Enemies to lovers. Sacrifice. Reincarnation. Romance. Complex world building. Original. It’s pretty hard to come up with a scenario that seems fresh to me, because I always have my head in some kind of book.

Richard French has created a complex and thought provoking fantasy that is sure to entertains. I was lost in the world he created.

4 Stars

When reality fractures, love becomes the ultimate weapon.

Engineer Samantha Reed’s perfectly ordered world explodes the night golden light erupts from her hands. Across the city, artist Connor Blake watches impossible shadows flow from his sculptures, defying every law of physics. Neither understands that these abilities mark them as living echoes of souls who died 150 years ago—souls who sacrificed themselves to save reality itself.

Now reality is breaking again.
Cosmic forces write aurora patterns across daylight skies. Reality storms tear through populated sectors. And the zealous Williams organization deploys weapons designed to destroy souls so completely that no form of existence—not even reincarnation—would survive.

But Samantha and Connor are more than just targets.
They’re the key to completing a restoration that was interrupted a century and a half ago. As shared dreams and inexplicable compulsions draw them together, they discover their connection transcends this lifetime—and that their growing love might be the only force powerful enough to heal wounds carved into the fabric of existence itself.

The hunt is closing in. Reality won’t wait. And some bonds are stronger than death.
Margaret Carter, guardian of forbidden historical knowledge, races to reach them before the Williams assassins strike. Emergency coordinator Nina Reyes struggles to protect civilians as magical disasters escalate beyond all containment. And deep in classified archives, evidence emerges that everything the magical authorities believe about unified consciousness—and the couple who wields it—is catastrophically wrong.

In this breathtaking sequel to The Broken Magic, two souls separated by lifetimes must choose between individual survival and cosmic salvation. Their victory heals the broken reality around them, letting them become guides for a restored world while keeping both their love and their lives..

Perfect for readers who loved The Ten Thousand Doors of January, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and The Priory of the Orange Tree.
⭐ Enemies-to-lovers across family bloodlines
⭐ Reincarnated soulmates with preserved memories
⭐ Contemporary fantasy with hidden magical history
⭐ Engineer meets artist in a love story that could heal the universe
⭐ Complex worldbuilding with philosophical depth
Some missions transcend individual authority. Some love transcends time itself.
