Onyx Storm
Third year, and the search for an ally who might turn the war moves the story off the continent entirely. Broader in scope than the first two books and more willing to leave Basgiath behind. On the House's scale it rates 4 for spice (explicit), 4 for how much of the book is the romance, and 3 for craft. Empyrean readers who are already committed and want to know what happens.
