The 'highly-anticipated' sequel to 'The Hurricane Wars' brings even further angst, heartbreak and magical discoveries.
Talasyn and Alaric are now married - politically. Just for politics and truces. That's all. But neither can deny the attraction between them or the incredible potential their combined magic has to save the world.
This enemies-to-lovers, to 'politically married-with-benefits' and then 'touch them and you die' sequel leads us through where their loyalties could lead to the betrayal of each other. Alaric's walls come crashing down as Talasyn's unique methods of ruling spread to his heart as well as their combined kingdoms.
All of this takes place with the backdrop of Guanzon's beautifully crafted Southeast Asian inspired war-torn world and spread of kingdoms.
