Between Tides & Thunder

Review Quotes:

"Holy six stars, WOW!! never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd rate a standalone romantasy this high, but this book absolutely defied all odds." - Goodreads Reviewer

"The PERFECT sweeping romantasy standalone with epic levels of yearning, STUNNING plot, a slow burn to leave you breathless and deep character arcs with heaps of emotional damage. This story sucked me right in from the first page and was perfectly paced and structured. I truly appreciate how Leena was able to articulate such a beautiful story with so much depth in under 500 pages." - Goodreads Reviewer

"This was hands down the best standalone I have read in a long time. 10/10. No notes. This felt like a series that was managed to be fit into one less than 500 page book in the best way possible. I was engrossed from page one and it never let up. I tend to have an issue with standalones because they never feel as complete and well rounded as a series does, but the code has been cracked here." - Goodreads Reviewer

"I absolutely devoured this book. This story didn't just entertain me it consumed me. From the very first chapters, I was completely locked in, emotionally invested, and thinking about nothing else but Mayah, Zev, and what on earth was about to happen next." -Goodreads Reviewer

She was raised to hate him. Now she shares his bed.

Princess Mayah of Tundrayn isn't allowed to want. Not freedom. Not love. Not even her own future. Instead, she's spent her life healing others' pain and swallowing her own. But when her father strikes a fragile alliance with enemy-kingdom Arbinj to crush a rising rebellion, she is bartered into a marriage she didn't choose for a crown she doesn't want.

She expects a prince. She gets the Dark Commander.

Zevayr is ruthless, unyielding, and a stormwielder with a reputation soaked in blood. He is everything Mayah was taught to fear. Yet as they race across rebel-torn lands, the less certain she is of where the monster ends and where the man begins.

In Arbinj's glittering courts, the Rebellion surges and dangerous secrets stir from Mayah's past-secrets that could shatter her kingdom, and her heart, if she lets them.

The question is not if Mayah will betray, but who: her people, her love, or herself?

Contributor Bio:Kazak, Leena
Leena Kazak has been spinning stories since she was ten years old, when she wrote her first short story and never looked back. A lifelong reader, she's devoured everything from fantasy and thrillers to historical fiction and contemporary romance-but these days, she's happily tumbled down the romantasy staircase and shows no sign of climbing out. (Send help). She writes fantasy romance with fierce heroines, impossible choices, and immersive worldbuilding. When she's in the thick of drafting, Leena wakes up between 4:30 and 5 a.m. to chase that magical, half-asleep window when words flow freely and the world is still quiet. Leena lives in the frigid Northeast with her brooding, handsome husband and their two adorable, half-feral sidekicks. (Leena and her husband are actually the sidekicks, but don't tell her kids that.)
