A pirate republic under siege

Cat Rose’s life spans two identities: the noblewoman Catrine of the Meridian Empire and the Widow Rose, who rules a tavern in the Lyrian Sea. As the Empire moves to crush the pirate republic, its demand that Cat deliver Valerian Kane—pirate captain, maritime threat, and the man she has loved—puts her past and present in direct conflict. The setup brings imperial warfare, a struggle for self-determination, and a rekindled history together in an epic fantasy shaped by the high seas. This deluxe hardcover edition adds sprayed edges, full-color endpapers, a foil-stamped case, and jacket effects.

From Victoria Aveyard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Queen, comes a romantic fantasy epic like no other in which a fallen noblewoman faces off against her former love--the last great pirate captain--amid a brutal war for the high seas.

"Tempest is a triumph that features all my favorite things: romance, layered characters, a meticulous fantasy world, and of course--pirates." --RACHEL GILLIG

Cat Rose knows what it is to live in two worlds, in two times. Before--as Lady Catrine Rose of the Meridian Empire, chained to a loathsome lord with a dwindling fortune. And after--as the Widow Rose, queen of a pirate tavern in the Lyrian Sea, determined to be the master of her own fate.

But tides turn and winds change. The Meridian Empire looms on the horizon, the full weight of her navy falling on the Lyrian, bent on reclaiming the wealthy colonies and crushing the pirate republic once and for all. Ship after ship is captured, save for one, captained by a pirate who continually evades both noose and blade: the legendary Valerian Kane.

With his fearsome ship and uncanny connection to the song of the sea, Valerian is the only man who might rally the pirates who remain. The only man who threatens the Empire. And the only man Cat has ever loved, blazing in and out of her life like a star.

Desperate for victory, the Empire offers Cat a devastating choice: bring them Valerian or hang. In truth, no choice at all.

But Cat Rose is nothing if not a survivor.

A storm is rising on the Lyrian. What will it leave in its wake?
