Looking for an enchanting and captivating Gothic read to escape to? Tempest Cursed is narrated by the talented Fran Burgoyne, who brings the characters and the eerie but beautiful world to life. Here is what readers are saying:

“Whether you’re a fan of Wuthering Heights or not; this is a great read!” – Amazon reviewer

“This book was so good! I love romance books that make your heart stutter. I flew through this book in one day and I was so sad when it was over!” – Netgalley reviewer

“If you have any interest in Scottish mythology I definitely recommend checking this one out…” – Amazon reviewer

“This book really drew me in. The setting in this novel was phenomenally written and made you feel as if you were there.” – Amazon reviewer

“Are you prepared to pay the price for power?”

After standing trial in the Summer Court, James is sent on a quest to kill the Cait Sidhe, the monstrous faery cat who manipulated him into betraying the Seelie faeries and destroying the magical barrier that protected them. When the time comes to kill the beast, James decides to trick him into helping undo his mistake. But the man beneath the beast, Cecil Morris, is just as dangerous, and his manor, Heatherfield, is full of wild and deadly magic. In trying to reach Cecil, James risks being pulled into the darkness with him.

Cai, accompanying James to Heatherfield, escapes from the Cait Sidhe’s prison and fights for his life against Heatherfield’s deadly magic, determined to keep his oath to kill the beast even if it means making James his enemy. Kallista and Alan, also captives in the manor, face a fight of their own as Alan’s Unseelie magic slowly consumes him.

Meanwhile, newly-appointed Noble Faery Deirdre and her human champion, Iain, head into an ancient tomb to find her drachma, an item that will help her control her powerful magic and save the Summer Court from destruction. She must undergo a trial to earn her drachma, but dark forces lurk inside, waiting to use her magic against her and against all she loves.

The Thrall’s Gambit is book five in the seven-book Winter’s Blight series.

There are hints in this aesthetic. But as you can probably guess from the title, this book is a little more James-focused. Everyone gets their moments to shine as well, as usual!

Though protected behind a barrier of magic, the Realm of the Summer Court is anything but safe…

Deirdre, James, and Iain finally reach Seelie Court to warn them of the impending war and heal Deirdre’s stolen magic. However, their greatest challenges are yet to come.

Deirdre must prove she can regain her magic and control it or risk losing her chance to belong in the Realm. When Iain volunteers to be her champion, he must undergo a trial of his own to prove his claims about the Iron Guard by joining the perilous Wild Hunt. James continues his quest for magic by communicating with Cecil, the enigmatic emissary of the Winter Court. Although the monstrous Cait Sidhe cannot be trusted, can James trust the man behind the beast?

As Alan and the army draw nearer to the Summer Court with each hour the dark magic aiding him threatens to destroy not only him but Kallista—and everything he is fighting for.
