Storm from the East - (Glass Alliance) by Joanna Hathaway (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Part war drama, part romance, Storm from the East is the second epic fantasy adventure in Joanna Hathaway's Glass Alliance series.

War has begun in the South. The days of soldier Athan and Princess Aurelia's secret summer romance feel like a long-distant memory.

On the frontlines of combat, Athan proves a star fighter pilot as he struggles to justify the violence his father has unleashed.

In the capital, Aurelia discovers a startling and long-buried truth about her mother and joins a campaign that goes against everything she once believed about her family's right to the throne.

When the two reunite at last, each of them longs to rekindle the love they once shared . . . but each has a secret they're desperate to hide.
