The Riven Kingdoms series by Shari L. Tapscott is a four-book fantasy romance published between 2020 and 2021. The series centers on two kingdoms torn apart by magic and the star-crossed lovers trying to bring them back together. Each title evokes its setting and mood: Forest of Firelight, Sea of Starlight, Dawn of Darkness, and Age of Auroras.
The books move through different environments as the story progresses, from firelit forests to starlit seas to the darkness before a final dawn. Tapscott published the complete series in a box set as well, making it easy for new readers to pick up the full story at once. The Riven Kingdoms sits in the middle of Tapscott’s career and shows her working with slightly higher stakes than her fairy tale retellings while keeping the romantic core that her readers expect.
