Songbird. Traitor. Runaway. Heroine.

Aella is on the run. Abducted by the very person she risked everything to save, she is branded a traitor and has no choice but to flee with the silver-eyed stranger across the Empyrieos. As they evade capture, the two must grow to trust each other, but soon Aella discovers a truth that complicates everything.

With Aella accused of treason, her best friend, Nyssa, is under suspicion as an accomplice. Disguised as a servant, her sole aim is to find Aella and ensure her best friend’s safety. But between the upcoming Empyrieos Games, the threat of discovery, and a reluctant alliance with Aella’s brother, Prince Kallias, risk waits around every corner.

As both women fight to survive against the dangerous political power of the Southern Kingdom, the Aviary, and the Prince of Eretria, the two must also claim their identities and destinies in a world that seeks to define them.

Daughter of the Tempest features dual perspectives, ride-or-die friendships, found family, unlikely alliances, and two slow-burn romantic arcs, raising the stakes of the thrilling Myths of the Empyrieos series.
