Tempest of Wrath and Vengeance
Synopsis
Tessalyn Ausra has taken her revenge on the rulers of Devram, and they now fear her. She lives under the protection of the Achaz Kingdom, where she means to fulfil her purpose. Her power is beyond her control and the bond she carries is still in place, so temptation and chaos meet her at every turn.
Theon St. Orcas has planned for his moment all his life, and he is now the Arius Lord. It leaves him more alone than ever. Axel is missing, Luka has gone to another kingdom, and two brooding strangers from another realm have arrived, though he has no Source.
The history Theon relies on has been manipulated, and he must work out the truth quickly. Sacrifices are demanded of him, and the greatest threat to his people is the person he would give up anything to protect.
Luka Mors has been sent to a foreign kingdom, where he is the outsider he has always dreaded being. He has to stay at Tessa's side, which puts him in the middle of a dangerous game. It also keeps him close to a temptation he has denied for years. He has always taken pride in his loyalty, and now it begins to waver.
The story moves between three viewpoints: Tessa, Theon and Luka. It is a dark fantasy of power, divided loyalties and desire, in which survival means becoming as ruthless as the villains in the realm.
