A Monsoon Rising

After a lifetime of war, Alaric and Talasyn were thrust into an alliance that was supposed to end the fighting; however, being married to a sworn foe feels far from peaceful. Now Talasyn must play the part of Alaric’s willing empress while her allies plot to overthrow his reign. But the longer the couple are forced together, the harder it becomes for her to deny the feelings crackling like lightning between them. When the time comes to act, can Talasyn trust Alaric, or must she ignore her heart for the sake of so many others? Alaric has trained for battle all his life, but marrying a Lightweaver may be his most difficult 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 the continent. Only he and Talasyn can stop it, with a powerful merging of shadow and light 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 fíame in the darkness, tempting both Alaric’s loyalties and his desires. The world holds its breath amidst a whirlwind of new magic and oíd secrets that could change everything.
