Synopsis of The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon: In a world ravaged by the Hurricane Wars, Talasyn Alunsina, an orphaned soldier of Sardovia, conceals her rare Lightweaver magic—a power thought extinct. Her abilities are a direct threat to the oppressive Night Empire, ruled by the formidable Night Emperor. During a pivotal battle, Talasyn’s magic clashes with that of Prince Alaric Ossinast, the emperor’s son and a master of shadow magic. Their encounter reveals a unique, combined power that neither fully understands.   As the war intensifies, Talasyn is dispatched to the neutral Nenavar Dominion to hone her abilities. There, she uncovers her true heritage as the lost heir to Nenavar’s Dragon Throne. In a strategic move to unite factions against a looming greater threat, Talasyn and Alaric enter into a political marriage, forcing them to navigate their deep-seated animosities and the complexities of their intertwined destinies.  Set against a richly imagined, Southeast Asia–inspired backdrop, The Hurricane Wars is a tale of magic, political intrigue, and a slow-burning enemies-to-lovers romance. It explores themes of identity, resistance, and the possibility of unity in a divided world.
