Title: The Hurricane Wars

Series: Hurricane Wars #1

Author: Thea Guanzon

The heart is a battlefield.

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

Prince Alaric, the emperor’s only son and heir, has been forged into a weapon by his father. Tasked with obliterating any threats to the Night Empire’s rule with the strength of his armies and mighty Shadow magic, Alaric has never been bested. That is until he sees Talasyn burning brightly on the battlefield with the magic that killed his grandfather, turned his father into a monster, and ignited the Hurricane Wars. In a clash of light and dark, their powers merge and create a force the likes of which has never been seen.

Talasyn and Alaric both know this war can only end with them. But a greater threat is coming, and the strange new magic they can create together could be the only way to overcome it. Thrust into an uneasy alliance, they will confront the secrets at the heart of the war and find, in each other, a searing passion–one that could save their world…or destroy it.

An exquisite fantasy brimming with unforgettable characters, sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance, and richly drawn worlds, The Hurricane Wars marks the breathtaking debut of an extraordinary new writer.

Oh this was a bloomin great read!

I listened to the audio and can confirm the narrator was utterly fabulous!

Talasyn fights for the rebels in The Hurricane Wars against Alaric, the Night Emperor. But is Alaric just a puppet, and is Talasyn?

It’s a case of the light meeting the dark and fireworks ensue!

What to expect:
~ Enemies to lovers,
~ Kiss him, off him energy,
~ Off the charts segsual tension,
~ Arranged marriage,
~ Forced proximity,
~ Political intrigue,
~ Can defo see a Star Wars connection!

I was rooting for the pair all the way but there is just too many obstacles (and moral reasons!) against them to be together and actually be happy, even though they actually seem perfect for each other!

How long for book 2?!
