The Storm of Life
The sumptuous and powerful conclusion to the gender-fluid duet begun by The Brilliant Death, hailed in a starred review by Kirkus as "a delicious and magical intrigue too tempting not to devour."
By turns thrilling, witty, and heartbreaking, this dramatic conclusion to the Brilliant Death duet transports us to a Vinalia on the verge of transformation and radiates with the electric power of love.
With her power over magic finally in hand, and her love for Cielo at last confessed, Teodora di Sangro should be on top of the world. But the country of Vinalia is in chaos as the dictator like Capo threatens to plunge them all into war and capture every strega in the land--including Teo and Cielo.
Teo knows she can't take down the Capo alone. She must convince a small band of streghe who have been hiding in plain sight to join her in the cause. But as she struggles to bring them together, she discovers a far deadlier enemy than the Capo has been hunting her all along. Now everyone--especially Cielo--is in danger. What lengths will Teo go to in order to unite her country and save the one she loves?

This book was so good! The story was definitely what you expect from a great fantasy! The magic was unique, the romance is like nothing you’ve ever read before, and Teodora doesn’t let her status as a woman stop her from going after what she wants, what she deems is hers. In a world where having a magical ability can either hurt or hinder her, Theodora learns that the only way to save her father is to learn to hone her magical ability.
The romance in this novel is so different than anything I’ve read and it is difficult to explain. Amy did a fantastic job of taking something out of the ordinary and making it feel normal.
I would love to see more of Teodora and her world!
