The Hurricane Wars

The heart is a combat zone.

For Talasyn, the Hurricane Wars are all she has ever known. Talasyn, who was raised as an orphan in a country under the cruel Night Emperor's control, has discovered her relatives among the fighters for liberation. She is concealing a fatal secret, though: she possesses light magic, a blazing ability that can see through the Night Empire's darkness and is thought to have been exterminated years ago.

The emperor's father has turned his only son and heir, Prince Alaric, into a weapon. Alaric has never been defeated in his mission to destroy any challenges to the Night Empire's authority using the might of his soldiers and powerful Shadow magic. That is, until he witnesses Talasyn, blazing with the power that killed his grandfather, transformed his father into a monstrous creature, and started the Hurricane Wars, on the battlefield. Their powers collide in a battle of light and dark, unleashing a force never before witnessed.

This war can only end with them, Talasyn and Alaric realize. However, a more formidable foe is on the horizon, and their combined ability to conjure bizarre, novel magic may hold the key to defeating it. They will confront the dark secrets at the core of the conflict and discover in each other a burning passion that has the power to either save or destroy their world. This will thrust them into an uncomfortable partnership.

The Hurricane Wars, a gorgeous fantasy full of endearing characters, a captivating enemies-to-lovers romance, and intricately rendered realms, represents the stunning debut of an incredible new author.
