Love is the most dangerous storm.
He falls first. She falls harder. And the secret between them could destroy everything.
Vesper Thorne survived her bonding. That was the easy part.
Now she has ninety-three days before the Academy decides what to do with a Stormbreaker who refuses to behave like one and every day the clock runs louder. The power that answers her is growing. The body carrying it is not.
Commander Ronen Ashvale has stopped pretending he is merely her instructor. He fell first, quietly and completely, somewhere between the training yard and the moment he chose not to follow the order in his desk. He has told her almost everything.
Almost.
Because the truth Ronen is holding is not that he wants her. It is what he was sent to do, who sent him, and how long he has known that loving her makes him the most dangerous person in her life.
In a realm where the storms are failing and the Academy's oldest secret is starting to surface, Vesper is learning that survival was never the hard part. Being loved by someone with a knife behind his back is.
TEMPEST HEART is book 2 of The Zenith Academy, a five-book romantasy. The story is continuous and is best read in order.
