A Monsoon Rising
Two hearts circle each other in the eye of the storm in this highly-anticipated follow-up to the New York Times bestseller, The Hurricane Wars—prepare for more enemies-to-lovers romance, magical adventures, and political schemes in this Southeast Asian-inspired world.
After a lifetime of war, Alaric and Talasyn were thrust into an alliance between their homelands that was supposed to end the fighting; however, being married to their sworn foe feels far from peaceful. Now Talasyn must play the part of Alaric’s willing empress while her allies secretly plot to overthrow his reign. But the longer the couple are forced together, the harder it becomes to deny the feelings crackling like lightning between them. When the time comes to act, can she trust him, or must she ignore her heart for the sake of so many others?
As the master of the Shadowforged Legion, Alaric has trained for battle all his life, but marrying a Lightweaver might be his most dangerous 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 everything. Only he and Talasyn can stop it, with a powerful merging of light and shadow 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 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. The world holds its breath amidst a whirlwind of new magic and old secrets that could change everything.

Thea Guanzon
Thea Guanzon writes the kind of fantasy that feels like a storm breaking over warm seas, lush, unpredictable, and charged with emotion. Her debut novel The Hurricane Wars soared onto the New York Times and international bestseller lists, introducing readers to a world steeped in Southeast Asian myth and threaded with the kind of slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance that keeps pages turning long past midnight. Its sequel, A Monsoon Rising, only deepened that spell, carrying her vision of war, heritage, and desire into even more intricate and dangerous terrain.
The Hurricane Wars
Beneath a sky split by light and shadow, two enemies are bound together by a conflict that is as personal as it is political. The Hurricane Wars unfolds in a world inspired by Southeast Asian myth and history, where kingdoms rise and fall with the tide, and storms are both weapon and omen.
At its heart is Talasyn, a soldier who has survived the devastation of war but carries the scars of a childhood lost to it. Opposite her stands Prince Alaric, heir to the empire she despises, raised in duty and darkness. Their battles on the field ignite with more than elemental magic, and every clash draws them deeper into a connection that should never exist.
The Hurricane Wars consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
