Beschreibung des Verlags
'Thea Guanzon’s talent is limitless, and she is the kind of writer that comes around once in a generation. Mark my words: lives will be changed by The Hurricane Wars trilogy.'
Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis
Two hearts circle each other in the eye of the storm in this Sunday Times bestselling follow-up to the The Hurricane Wars.
After a lifetime of war, Alaric and Talasyn were thrust into an alliance between their homelands. Now Talasyn must play the part of Alaric’s willing empress while her allies secretly plot to overthrow his reign.
But a greater threat is rising – the Moonless Dark, a cataclysmic magical event that could devour everything. Only Alaric and Talasyn can stop it.
For Alaric, helping Talasyn save their world from this disaster is a mere preface to his father's more sinister schemes. But Talasyn is a burning flame in the darkness, tempting both his loyalties and his desires.
The Hurricane Wars aren’t over. It’s time to choose what – and who – to fight for.

New York Times on The Hurricane Wars
'Guanzon’s debut already has a bevy of bestselling writers' praise, including Hannah Whitten, Katee Robert, Ali Hazelwood and others, and it’s not surprising in the least. The Hurricane Wars is a lush and exquisitely detailed book with enemies to lovers, breathtaking worlds and intrigue… . Simply unputdownable.'

'Guanzon brings a fresh voice and vivid world into the fantasy landscape, and this story will be incredibly popular. Readers will look forward to the next book in this new trilogy.'
Library Journal (starred review), Debut of the Month
'I’ve been a die-hard, adoring fan of Thea Guanzon for years, and I thought I knew what she was capable of, but this book. This book. I am utterly enchanted by the lushness of her prose, the uniqueness of the setting, the spellbinding story she has gifted us with. I physically could not stop reading! Thea Guanzon’s talent is limitless, and she is the kind of writer that comes around once in a generation. Mark my words: lives will be changed by The Hurricane Wars trilogy.'
Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis,
'The Hurricane Wars is everything I love—intricate worldbuilding, unique magic, and a gleeful, smoldering romance. I’m obsessed.'
Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Tensions simmer but never ignite in Guanzon's underwhelming sequel to The Hurricane Wars. Though Sardovia and the Night Empire are now reluctant allies thanks to Talasyn and Alaric's arranged marriage, the relationship between the two nations remains volatile. Still, each needs the other to survive the Moonless Dark, which threatens to destroy their world. This means that Talasyn must play nice with Alaric, even as her allies plot to overthrow the Night Empire. Meanwhile, Alaric's father presses him to keep his new wife hostage and do whatever it takes to protect their people. Both of their missions are threatened by their mutual desire, however, leading each into a tug-of-war between their hearts and their loyalty to their families. The balance between romance and politics is off this time around, with the angst-heavy love story taking center stage as the brewing war is shunted to the background. As a result, the stakes feel lower than in the first installment. Fans will hope the next book is a return to form.
