The war was supposed to be over. Marriage between Talasyn, the last Lightweaver, and Alaric, heir to the Shadowforged Legion, was meant to unite their nations. Instead, it has left them circling each other like storm and flame—bound together yet torn apart by loyalty, politics, and secrets.
Talasyn must play the role of Alaric’s empress while allies whisper of rebellion. Alaric must balance the demands of power with the pull of a wife who burns brighter than he expected. Desire and distrust twist together as they face something far deadlier than war: the looming Moonless Dark, a magical cataclysm only they can stop.
Thea Guanzon’s A Monsoon Rising is a breathtaking continuation of The Hurricane Wars, a romantasy of enemies, lovers, and a world on the brink.
