A debut novel that opens an epic fantasy trilogy. “Hurricane Wars” is the name given to the protracted conflict the Empire of Night has unleashed against neighboring lands. Soldier Talasin has no memory of life without battles: the imperials took her family from her, and hatred for the enemy became her only support—she is ready to go all the way. What’s more, Talasin is subject to the magic of light, which for many years was believed to be gone.
During one of the battles, her path crosses with Alaric—the heir prince of the Empire of Night and a skilled wielder of shadow magic. The meeting of light and darkness can either bring the world down into ruin or give it a chance to be saved. What choice will Talasin and Alaric make—destroy or create?
