“Reign the Earth” is the first novel in “The Elementae” series, written by A.C. Gaughen. The novel follows Shalia is the proud daughter of the desert and in order to ensure her people's safety and to keep the peace, she is willing to trade her own freedom for her people, so she becomes the Queen of the Bonelands by marrying Calix, who is motivated only by his desire to eradicate the Elementae, who are mystical people who can control the four elements which includes, earth, wind, air, and fire. Shalia beginnings to have feelings for her husband's brother, which unleashes a power over the earth she never knew she possessed—a power that could get her killed. As rumours of a rebellion against Calix spread, Shalia must choose between the last chance for peace and her own future as an Elementae.
I really enjoyed the novel, as the novel contains elemental magic, which is always great. I also thought that the romance was quite interesting. The novel did have some heavy themes. I gave the novel 3/5 Stars.
