“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 sexy, empowering romantasy featuring a 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.

Tricia Levenseller

Tricia Levenseller writes the kinds of stories that refuse to play by the rules. Whether her heroines are commanding pirate crews, plotting thrones, or forging weapons laced with magic, her worlds shimmer with danger and desire in equal measure. A #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, she has carved out a place at the forefront of romantasy, the space where fantasy adventure and slow-burn romance collide, each fueling the other.

Her path to publication was far from instant. Growing up in Oregon, she spent more time in imagined kingdoms than in the real one, scribbling down adventures that stretched far beyond her backyard. After studying English Language and Editing, she thought she might work behind the scenes polishing others’ stories. Instead, after several early manuscripts and more than a few rejections, she discovered her own voice, the sharp, witty, morally gray edge that would define her debut, Daughter of the Pirate King. That novel and its sequel, Daughter of the Siren Queen, quickly won her a devoted readership, proving that swashbuckling heroines still have the power to capture hearts.

Since then, Levenseller has built a rich catalogue of young adult fantasy. Warrior of the Wild challenged characters to face monsters within and without, while Blade of Secrets and Master of Iron introduced readers to a blacksmith whose magical weapons held more than steel. In The Shadows Between Us and its companion novel The Darkness Within Us, she leaned into the seductive, dangerous side of ambition, weaving court intrigue with unexpected tenderness. Each book balances sharp banter and lush worldbuilding with the vulnerability of characters who want power but also crave connection.

Her upcoming projects reveal a writer still pushing boundaries. With What Fury Brings (2025), she steps boldly into adult romantasy, crafting a matriarchal world where power is redefined and romance comes with sharper edges. A new young adult trilogy, The Chromamancer Chronicles, begins in 2026, promising epic scope, fresh archetypes, and a killer whose magic forces unlikely heroes to band together.

Now based in Utah with her dog Rosy, Levenseller writes full time, breaking for puzzles, video games, and the kind of food hunts that recharge her creativity. Translated into more than twenty languages, her novels reach readers across the world, but her stories always come back to the same question: what happens when ambition, magic, and love collide?

Wrath and Fury

In the kingdom of Amarra, power belongs to women and survival demands loyalty to a goddess who has rewritten the rules of strength, marriage, and war. The series opens in a world where men are scarce and husbands are not chosen but taken, carried off from rival nations by force. It is within this brutal tradition that a warrior princess sets her sights on the throne, and her path to power begins with a single dangerous choice: claiming a husband who would rather fight her than kneel.

What unfolds is more than a clash of blades and wills. At its heart, the series is a story of defiance, desire, and the collision of cultures. The battlefield extends far beyond war camps and throne rooms, reaching into questions of dominance, freedom, and what it means to belong. Fierce heroines command both steel and strategy, while reluctant captives must confront the collapse of the beliefs that shaped them.

Balancing raw sensuality with sharp-edged political intrigue, the saga thrives on tension between love and control, tradition and rebellion, vengeance and mercy. Each chapter deepens the sense of danger, not only in the violence of the matriarchal courts but also in the irresistible pull between captor and captive.

Dark, provocative, and unflinching, the Wrath and Fury series does not soften its edges. Instead, it invites readers into a world where desire and power are inseparable, and every alliance is forged in fire.


Wrath and Fury consists of one book 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.
