"Maya Saroya gives an expressive performance in this thrilling historical fantasy filled with vampires, action, romance, and tea."—AudioFile on A Tempest of Tea

From the New York Times–bestselling author of We Hunt the Flame comes the first book in a deliciously propulsive vampire-fantasy duology teeming with slow burn romance, found family, and revenge, led by an orphan girl willing to do whatever it takes to save her self-made kingdom.

On the streets of White Roaring, Arthie Casimir is a criminal mastermind and collector of secrets. Her prestigious tearoom transforms into an illegal bloodhouse by night, catering to the vampires feared by society. But when her establishment is threatened, Arthie is forced to strike an unlikely deal with an alluring adversary to save it—she can’t do the job alone.

Calling on some of the city’s most skilled outcasts, Arthie hatches a plan to infiltrate the sinister, glittering vampire society known as the Athereum. But not everyone in her ragtag crew is on her side, and as the truth behind the heist unfolds, Arthie finds herself in the midst of a conspiracy that will threaten the world as she knows it. Dark, action-packed, and swoon-worthy, this is Hafsah Faizal better than ever.

A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

4.07 “That was the nature of man; born to nurture, determined to destroy” I was initially going to give this book a 3.5 but the ending saved it + the author bias (hehe go read WHTF) I think my main issue was high expectations for a book that is completely different from what the author has written......more

Goodreads review by EmmaSkies on May 31, 2024

This is a fairly interesting concept with what I believe is a genuinely poor execution. The whole book feels unpolished. (This review is going to sound like I hate it, but really I'm mostly apathetic and once my frustration wears off I doubt I'll think of it much.) I loved the Sands of Arawiya duolo......more

Goodreads review by Jesse (JesseTheReader) on January 26, 2025

I felt like this book was too focused on the characters meeting up and making plans, instead of actually executing those plans, and to me, that just wasn't all that interesting. :(......more

2.5✨ « She had forged a crown for herself when the world told her she was not meant to have one » What I liked - Spindrift (tea house) - Somewhat easy to read - Pacing was ok - Jin What I disliked - Poorly executed character driven book - No depth, no background to the characters - Telling rather than......more
