A troubled past. The future she's always dreamed of. And one wicked mage standing in her way...
Hazel Honeyweather is living her best life in the magical capital city. No, for real. Her days of servitude to her former owner, the Clockmaker, are long gone.
The glamorous Queen Maureen is a far better master, and Hazel loves her new job as court spy. In fact, just one more gig stealing secrets from a wicked mage solidifies her place in society.
But Maximilian may not be so wicked after all, and there may be other reasons for the mysterious tornadoes kidnapping mages left and right.
As Hazel's disguise and Maximilian's defenses unravel, she realizes that running this time isn't just giving up a job: she risks life and love, while the place where she finally belongs is suffocated by the tempest.
Read The Tempest Came for magic-fueled story of intrigue, fantastic creatures, overly dramatic confessions and ghastly weather.
