1. Bones of Empire (2018)
When magic dies, only the dead hold magic.
Once the empire of Ritakhou was full of magic. But since the Schism, the remaining empire of Rimbaku is but a pale whisper of its former majesty, with barely a fragment of its magic remaining. Now the only source of magic is the Relicant Touch, the power drawn from the aishone, relic bones that are jealously guards and widely coveted.
Kagiri and Noniki leave their small village with a small clutch of aishone and all the hope they can muster, but the world is a larger, more dangerous place than they ever dreamed. They are forced into a dark bargain that may cost them not only their lives, but their souls, and may change the Relicant Empire forever. Their fates intertwine with an emperor, a warrior, a graverobber, and a killer in patterns none of them ever imagined along the way to reshaping an empire, and quite possibly a world.
This is the first book in The Relicant Chronicles, a brand-new fantasy series from international bestselling author Aaron Rosenberg , who brings his characteristic flair and world-building to this thrilling new fantasy series.
2. Trails of Bone (2019)
Magic. Action. Intrigue. All these converge along the Trails of Bone.
The kingdom of Rimbaku has fallen on hard times. Under attack by its neighbors, the once-great empire struggles to defend itself even as it stagnates, its people obsessed with atachi, the Relicant Touch, and the skills and memories that magic lets them absorb from the bones of their dead.
Amid all this chaos an emperor learns about his subjects firsthand, a warrior battles both foes and ancient tradition, a young man tests recently acquired prowess while another learns to rely on himself, a young graverobber struggles to overcome new scruples even as a different young woman with no scruples begins to amass power, a strange pair wreak havoc, and a mysterious new threat approaches the capital.
What will happen when all of these trails cross at last? Will any of them survive? Will the Relicant Empire?
In this second volume of the epic fantasy series, the characters and storylines that began in Bones of Empire continue to develop, to deepen, and to reveal more about the kingdom, its people, and the spiral of events threatening to overwhelm one and all.

4. Bones At Rest (2022)
Eight days. No outside influence. And the fate of a nation hanging in the balance.
Hibikitsu, the young Rimbakan emperor, has reason to rejoice—the recent mystical threat has been defeated. His people still stagnate, however, using the Relicant Touch to tap the skills of their ancestors rather than developing talents themselves.
To overcome this, he declares a Saisaihyu, an eight-day period of purification—during which, no aishone may be used. Hibikitsu hopes this will wean his people off the relic bones. But Kohori and Shizumi, as captain of his household guard and commander of his elite troops, fear their enemies could exploit this vulnerability.
Meanwhile, Kagiri and Noniki are discovering the challenge of settling into their new roles. Seikoku is trying to determine where she stands—and facing strange new dangers. And the beautiful but deadly Chimehara decides to finally put her plans in motion.
Bones at Rest is the fourth book in the thrilling Asian-themed epic fantasy series from bestselling author Aaron Rosenberg about a land where the only magic left comes from consuming the bones of the past.
