Light and shadow collide in a war-torn fantasy romance

Set amid the long-running Hurricane Wars, this opening fantasy-romance novel centers on Talasyn, an orphaned fighter whose hidden light magic could challenge the Night Empire, and Prince Alaric, the emperor’s shadow-wielding son. Their opposing loyalties place them on rival sides of an imperial conflict, but a confrontation between their powers creates an unfamiliar force and binds their fates more closely. The book combines military struggle, concealed power, dynastic rule, and a forbidden enemies-to-lovers relationship within a Southeast Asia-inspired setting. It begins a planned trilogy, with the wider war and an approaching threat shaping the stakes around its central pair.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of epic fantasy romance with enemies-to-lovers tension

In this epic romantasy, a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance, magic, and destiny are swept together in The Hurricane Wars, the spellbinding debut in a fantasy romance trilogy set in a Southeast Asia-inspired world.

All Talasyn has ever known is the Hurricane Wars. Growing up an orphan in a nation under siege by the ruthless Night Emperor, she found her family among the soldiers who fight for freedom. But Talasyn is hiding a deadly secret: light magic runs through her veins, a blazing power that can cut through the Night Empire's shadows, believed to have been wiped out years ago.

Prince Alaric, a morally grey hero and his father's weapon, is sworn to obliterate any threats to the Night Empire's rule with his mighty shadow magic. He and Talasyn lock into a deadly dance of warring empires that neither can seem to truly win, until, in a clash of light and dark, their powers merge to create a strange new force--and a dangerous, forbidden attraction reveals itself.

This war can only end with them. But an even greater danger is coming, and Talasyn and Alaric must decide... can they work together to save their world, or will they end up destroying each other?
