“Equally brutal, hot, and provocative.” —C.S. Pacat, New York Times-bestselling author of Captive Prince
#1 New York Times-bestselling author Tricia Levenseller makes her adult debut in What Fury Brings, a dark, sexy romantasy featuring a vengeful warrior general who must kidnap and train a husband in order to take her rightful place as queen.
Let's get something clear, Prince. I have claimed you. That means you belong to me now.
There's a shortage of men in the kingdom of Amarra. After a failed rebellion against the matriarchy, most noblemen in the country are dead. Now the women of Amarra must obtain their husbands (should they want one) by kidnapping them from other kingdoms.
Olerra, a warrior princess vying for the throne, is determined to prove her worth by kidnapping a husband. And not just any husband. To outmaneuver her treacherous cousin, she needs the best. Fortunately, the second-born prince of their greatest enemy is widely known for both his looks and his sweet, docile temperament. He's the perfect choice to secure her claim to the throne.
Sanos, heir to the Kingdom of Brutus, has nothing but contempt for the idea of a society run by women. Trained from birth to fight, lead, and follow in his father's overbearing footsteps, his path has always been set. Until he takes his younger brother's place in a drunken prank and finds himself kidnapped, carted off to the Amarran Palace, and informed that he is to become the husband of Queen Potential Olerra. Sanos needs to escape before anyone learns his real identity, but the more he gets to know his captor, the less sure he is of what he truly wants.
What Fury Brings is an adult romance novel with graphic sexual content and darker themes that may be uncomfortable for some readers. Please see the author's note at the beginning of the book.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Women rule the world in the lusty, occasionally brutal, and often humorous adult debut from bestselling YA author Levenseller (The Darkness Within Us). Gen. Olerra Corasene is a potential heir to the throne of the dystopian matriarchy of Amarra, where women use the Goddess's Gift to bend men to their will. Amarra's enemy is neighboring Brutus, whose sadistic King Atalius recently lost to Olerra on the battlefield. Following that encounter, Atalius took out his rage by beating his sons, pretty poet Prince Andrastus and warrior Prince Sanos, who secretly hopes to overthrow his father. Olerra also wants to rule, but to impress the Amarran nobility she'll need to kidnap a man, tame him, marry him, and produce a daughter. Olerra decides to abduct Andrastus, but in a comedy of errors, drunk Sanos stumbles into Andrastus's place and soon finds himself bound, gagged, and tied to Olerra's bed. Per tradition, Olerra has three months to tame and marry him in a royal wedding, all while hoping no one discovers her secret: she alone has no goddess magic over men. Against all odds, a tentative mutual respect develops between these two wonderfully realized characters, leading to a believable and erotic romance. Levenseller's commentary on gender roles feels a bit basic, but she brings plenty of comedy to the role-reversal. This is sure to be a hit.
