Description
Be one of the first to experience Penguin's biggest YA Romantasy series launch of 2025!
HEIR OF STORMS is an epic YA romantasy in the style of TWIN CROWNS and early Sarah J. Maas with a touch of THE HUNGER GAMES.
I am the girl who wove the storm that shook the world.
And I’m coming for my crown.
When Blaze came into the world, she almost drowned it.
Blaze, a Rain Singer, is born into one of the most powerful fire-wielding families in the empire. Her birth summoned a devastating storm that resulted in the deaths of thousands, and she has spent her life as an outsider, reviled and feared.
When Blaze and her twin brother, Flint, are selected to compete in the Choosing Rite, the trials which decide the future rulers of the empire, she’s suddenly thrust into the limelight – and into battle.
Threats abound at the Golden Palace, where intrigue and romance await with not one but two handsome suitors: the enchanting Crown Prince and a dangerously alluring newcomer at court.
As her powers strengthen and her fellow competitors fall, the throne is suddenly within her grasp. But in order to take the crown, she’ll have to leave behind the stories that others have told about her and find the courage to write her own.
'Bears all the hallmarks of addictive YA fantasy—perilous trials, elemental magic, court intrigue, epic twists, and an electrifying romance—with a stepping-into-your-power character arc that’ll make readers stand up and cheer. Fans of Stephanie Garber have found their new obsession—this is going to be huge' Laura Steven, author of Our Infinite Fates

I will 100% be reading this when it releases and again before book 2
The twists. The turns. This book was tricksy.
I thought I saw things coming: I didn't.
The tension, both romantic and not.
The trials, the stakes.
An emotional roller coaster.
And Fox!!! Swoon!
It was such a fun read! I devoured it in less than 24 hours.
Waiting for book 2 is going to be torture.
ARC obtained through NetGalley - thank you to the author and the publishers for allowing me to read this!
*Spoiler free review*
Summary: this is a fantasy book about a young woman who was born with magical gifts. Throughout the book, the woman learns about her gifts, and how to use them, making friends on her journey.
What I liked:
- although this is a fantasy book, it feels different to others within the sub genre in a good way - the ideas feel new and fresh!
- the characters are great. There’s so much depth to every single person we meet
- the pacing of the book was really good, and it was so incredibly easy to read
- there are a few plot twists that the reader really does not suspect
- there’s LGBTQ+ representation that feels really genuine
- the world building is amazing. The descriptions really brings the world to life
- it was a really good balance of world building / character building / plot
- overall I just absolutely LOVED this book. I could not put it down and I just enjoyed everything about it. I’m hoping there will be more to the series!! I would absolutely recommend this to any fantasy readers who enjoy Throne of Glass / Hunger Games / Game of Thrones
Rating: 5/5 stars (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)
