Description
'Thea Guanzon's talent is limitless, and she is the kind of writer that comes around once in a generation. Mark my words: lives will be changed by The Hurricane Wars trilogy.' Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis
Two hearts circle each other in the eye of the storm in this Sunday Times bestselling follow-up to the The Hurricane Wars.
After a lifetime of war, Alaric and Talasyn were thrust into an alliance between their homelands. Now Talasyn must play the part of Alaric's willing empress while her allies secretly plot to overthrow his reign.
But a greater threat is rising - the Moonless Dark, a cataclysmic magical event that could devour everything. Only Alaric and Talasyn can stop it.
For Alaric, helping Talasyn save their world from this disaster is a mere preface to his father's more sinister schemes. But Talasyn is a burning flame in the darkness, tempting both his loyalties and his desires.
The Hurricane Wars aren't over. It's time to choose what - and who - to fight for.
