Now Talasyn must play the part of Alaric’s willing empress while her allies secretly plot to overthrow his reign. But the longer the couple are forced together\, the harder it becomes to deny the feelings crackling like lightning between them. When the time comes to act\, can she trust him\, or must she ignore her heart for the sake of so many others? \nAs the master of the Shadowforged Legion\, Alaric has trained for battle all his life\, but marrying a Lightweaver might be his most dangerous challenge yet. With tensions between nations churning\, he needs to focus on the greater threat—the Moonless Dark\, a cataclysmic magical event that could devour everything. Only he and Talasyn can stop it\, with a powerful merging of light and shadow that they alone can create together. But saving their world from this disaster is a mere preface to his father’s more sinister schemes\, and his wife is a burning flame in the darkness\, tempting both his loyalties and his desires. \nThe Hurricane Wars aren’t over. It’s time to choose what—and who—to fight for. The world holds its breath amidst a whirlwind of new magic and old secrets that could change everything. \nABOUT Thea Guanzon: \nThea Guanzon holds a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies\, with a specialization in international Politics and Peace Studies.
