A Monsoon Rising by Thea Guanzon Plot Synopsis
The story picks up with Alaric, the brooding Night Emperor, and Talasyn, the fiery light-wielding rebel, navigating their very awkward political marriage. What’s the catch, you ask? Well, only the small matter of combining their opposing powers to prevent the Voidfell from plunging the world into darkness. Oh, and did we mention the tiny problem of the entire political court watching their every move? Cozy, right?
But while the stakes are astronomically high (world-ending disasters and all), the real fireworks are happening between these two reluctant allies. Their chemistry is off the charts. Do they hate each other? Do they love each other? Is it possible to do both simultaneously while fending off assassins and ancient magical threats? Apparently, yes.
The political intrigue thickens as alliances are tested, old wounds are reopened, and backstabbing plots unfold. Yet somehow, amid the court politics and impending doom, Alaric and Talasyn still find time to banter and smolder at each other. And honestly, we’re here for it. Who needs clear communication when you’ve got unresolved sexual tension and epic magical battles, right?
As their bond deepens (few whispered confessions, and a healthy dose of denial), the narrative delves into their individual struggles. Alaric battles his identity as a weapon forged for war, while Talasyn grapples with her role as a beacon of hope for a fractured rebellion. Together, they must confront the looming threat of The Moonless Dark, an apocalyptic event that could end everything. Casual stuff.
And then there’s the worldbuilding—lush, vivid, and brimming with details that make you want to pack your bags and visit (assuming you’re okay with the occasional life-threatening magical catastrophe). The Voidfell looms ominously, but honestly, who can focus on existential terror when Alaric is out here calling Talasyn “my wife” like it’s a whole personality trait?
But don’t get too comfortable—this book ends on a cliffhanger so brutal it might just have you shouting at the pages. (What was that twist? And more importantly, WHY?) Will Alaric and Talasyn finally admit their feelings? Will the Voidfell be defeated? Will someone please give Alaric a hug? We’ll have to wait to find it out.

Book Review: A Monsoon Rising (The Hurricane Wars #2)
Oh, A Monsoon Rising, you glorious, heart-wrenching, swoon-inducing sequel. Where do I even begin? Alaric and Talasyn are back. This book had me laughing, crying, and occasionally yelling, “Just kiss already!” . Seriously, how much tension can two people carry before they explode? Apparently, a lot.
Alaric, my poor emotionally-repressed emperor—do you want love or not? Talasyn, queen of denial. The political intrigue is sharp, the magic is lush, and the plot twists? Brutal.
In short, A Monsoon Rising is a tempestuous ride of magic, mayhem, and romance that will leave you breathless, swooning, and maybe just a little emotionally scarred. But hey, isn’t that what we signed up for?
Do I recommend it? Yes. there are a few down points too, if you read many Romantasy novel some scenes can be seen repetitve yet it was worth it, is what i feel.
