Tempest’s Queen
Not yet published
Expected 28 Oct 25The queen has won her crown. Now, she must prove she’s worthy to wear it.
Six months ago, Teia Carthan seized the throne against all odds. She sacrificed everything—her morals, her friends, even the spark of love—to hear the whisper of her new Highness.
Now, Teia sets sail across the Dark Sea to warn her cousin, the Shaylani emperor, of a threat that could doom the Five Cornelius Lehm lives, and he’s planning to raise the Serkawr. But as she begins a furious journey across Shaylan, Teia knows she needs help to defeat Lehm—even if it means working with the very rebels she betrayed to claim her crown.
Trust is a fragile thing, and Teia crushed it beneath her heel. Can she earn the Dawnbreakers� friendship once again? Or will the consequences of her treachery win out, dragging all she’s fought for like a wave to the depths?

4.5/5 stars - any book that makes me cry gets bonus points. This book was even better than the first. The ease of the storytelling, the twists, the betrayals, the highs and lows. It’s really well done. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC copy - this book releases in October 2025.
After having betrayed everyone and everything, Teia is now Queen. But is she fit to wear the crown? If she any better than her monster of a half brother before her? With her new reign on shaky grounds, Teia decides she must set off to her mothers homeland across the sea to warn the kingdom of the coming danger and plot of an old foe (Lehm) who is back in the picture. This begins a massive quest for Teia and a rag tag group to work to uncover the scheme and save not only her kingdom, but all kingdoms.

I don't think this was quite as well-paced and structured as the first one, however, I did continue to enjoy the story. For most of the story, I went between sections in which I was really engaged and sections in which I was less engaged. It is because of this that my rating is closer to a solid four. Outside of that critique, the exploration into another of the five kingdoms was awesome. I think it added more to the overall view of the world being crafted. I definitely suggest this duology though, I just wish there were more books to further explore the rest of the five kingdoms.

Thank you Tiffany Wang and Bindery Books for the ARC.
The queen has won her crown. Now, she must prove she’s worthy to wear it, in a gripping conclusion to the Inferno's Heir duology. Teia must earn back friendship, or be crushed by the consequences of her treachery, unleashing the deadly fate coming.
Tempest's Queen is an amazing conclusion to the series and contained elements that made the first book so gripping. The world-building in this new setting was absolutely immersive, with its rich lore and history. The plot twists kept coming, having the reader flip pages and the writing flowing away made it impossible to stop reading.
It is action packed filled with wit, political intrigue, schemes, high stake heists/breakouts, shocking revelations, betrayals and sacrifice that will break your heart in the most beautiful and painful way.
Something that made this book stand out is the morally-ambiguous, diverse and compelling cast of characters. We get to explore Teia from a Princess to a Queen and her morally-greyness is compelling in every situation possible. She's absolutely smart, planning and plotting silently while observing everything.
Despite the struggles and challenges these characters face, they are always there for one another. This made the found family trope hit even harder, especially towards the ending.
While the romance was a subplot, it had its time to bloom and shine in the book. Teia and Tobias yearning and caring for each other had to be the most amazing part of their relationship. The chemistry sizzled while angst made it impossible to see the characters apart.
Overall, the ending left me wanting for mrke and I loved this book more than the first one. I highly recommend this to those who wanted a diverse mythological fantasy with political intrigue and high stakes quests.

I am so sad that this story is over! I had the privilege to at. Read the first book last year and now the honor to arc read the sequel. Thank you so much to the publisher and the author for trusting me with your work.
I think this duology is criminally underhyped. The first book in the series was so good but this second book was AMAZING!
This book has everything! Found family, romance, heists, political intrigue, sarcasm and humor. The sprinkling of romance throughout is enough to make you giddy and kick your feet. The fact that Tobias can hardly say a word yet make my heart race speaks for itself.
Enna is one of my favorite side characters. She’s witty and so unserious with a silver tongue. Teia is the best anti hero I’ve ever read with grey morales and a soft spot for those she loves. Very few people get under her thick skin but when they do, she is loyal to a fault. The entire cast of characters is so likeable and relatable that I find myself wanting to be a part of their crew.
This book included another heist, similar to book one which we love to see, and some unexpected magical trials. AND THE PLOT TWIST AT THE END!!!! Truly had my jaw on the floor and was so well done that I didn’t even see it coming. I’m so sad this story is ending but am so glad it exists because it’s an amazing read. I highly recommend!

What an absolutely thrilling finale to a wonderful duology! Tempest’s Queen had me hooked from start to finish—Tiffany Wang really delivered. The stakes were high, the emotions were real, and the twists were SO GOOD. I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters—they’ve completely stolen my heart. I'm going to be thinking about this one for a long time.

POV: third-person limited
Genre: YA Political Fantasy
2025 has barely begun � alright, alright, I hear you, we are 25% in the year, BUT this has to be one of the best books I will read this year. I loved Inferno's Heir to death, and Tempest's Queen has only added to intensify my adoration for this universe. I hate that this is it? That we are not getting any more explorations of the five kingdoms? That we aren't getting any more of the fierce Teia, kind Tobias, stealthy Enna, wholesome Alara, and oh so sweet Kyra?? I need to get my hands on the physical copies of this duology, for one, look at that cover, and secondly, it is a series that has ascertained itself in my heart as one of the best political YA fantasies ever written.
And it couldn't have come at a better time than this, when we have readers arguing about how reading isn't inherently political, when our world descends into chaos. That's the tragic part about dystopian/political fiction in today's age, it doesn't feel like fiction at all, however pondering about that would be a deviation from the main purpose of this review.
Tempest's Queen is the dramatic conclusion to Inferno's Heir, and for me, contains all the elements that made the first book so endearing to me. The plot twists keep you flipping the pages, the world and character building is SO immersive, the writing flows like a destructive flame -- reaching the tiniest corners of your soul and leaving them scorched in the most magnificient way. I LOVE the relationships between these characters, I love how diverse they are, I am so enthralled by the way they overcome their problems. Teia is everything we want our strong female characters to be omg???
Thank you Bindery Books & NetGalley for the ARC, I will never shut up about how life-changing this book is. If you have ever been intrigued by well-developed kingdoms and (sort of) elemental magic, this is the epic fantasy for you.

Tempest’s Queen was one of my most anticipated read for 2025, because I had loved Inferno’s Heir. I was so ecstatic when I got the ARC! Let me just say the sequel was just as good as the first book. It is action packed filled with wit (<3 Enna Van Apt), political intrigue, schemes, high stake heists/breakouts, and shocking revelations. It is rich in history and mythology. We get to explore more of the world and see new forms of magic. However, what made this book stand out for me, was the complex, morally ambiguous diverse characters, especially our protagonist, Teia. She is fierce and ambitious, but also protective of the ones she loves. Her redemption arc was so well written. She is definitely not a sympathetic character. She understands the consequences of her choices and the impact it has on others. Although she stands by her decision, she also tries to correct the wrongs of the past. Some may see her as a villain and other a hero, but it is that ambiguity that makes Teia such a great character. There is also romance in this novel, which I really enjoyed. Although it is just a subplot, the yearning and tension was just so good. Finally, I loved the found family aspect of this novel. Despite the struggles and challenges these characters face, they are always there for one another.
Overall, I thought this was a great end to this series. It has definitely become one my favorite political YA fantasy duology. Highly recommend if you love intricate plotlines, witty dialogues, and memorable characters. I’m just sad that this story has ended, but I hope in the future the author will consider writing more stories in this world.

I cannot believe the sequel to our first ever published book under Violetear Books is here!
Tempest's Queen picks up where we left off in Inferno's Heir, and the author Tiffany Wang delivers nonstop action until the final page. Whereas book one set up the political climate of Teia's world and introduced us to our cast of characters, Tempest's Queen dives into the repercussions of her choices and how they have shaped the fate of those around her.
In Tempest's Queen, we journey to Shaylan, the homeland of Teia's mother and the only family she has left. We meet new characters, reunite with old ones, and work toward defeating Lehm once and for all.
This book is packed with action—there is never a dull moment. I read it in a single sitting, and I NEVER do that! We get new forms of magic and fresh, inventive uses of older ones. The expanded cast brings so much depth to Teia’s journey. I fell in love, and I was betrayed (again).
Tempest's Queen is one of those rare sequels that surpasses the first. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Inferno’s Heir, and that story was essential to bring us to this moment. But this? This is next level. If you were left wondering if Teia redeems herself for betraying everyone around her, there is only one way to find out.
If you loved Inferno’s Heir, get ready for an even wilder ride. Tempest’s Queen raises the stakes, breaks our hearts, and reminds us why Teia’s story is one of the most compelling fantasy journeys out there right now.
I LOVE our ruthless queen, but will she break?

Thank you to Bindery Books and Netgalley who provided me with an eARC of this book for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
We rejoin our heroes for the conclusion of the Inferno’s Heir duology in this book. Just like the last, it features political intrigue, action, and–best of all–heists.
I enjoyed this book even more than the first, especially as the characters all felt more fleshed out and complex. I had difficulty connecting to Teia in the last book, but very much enjoyed watching her grapple with her own moral flexibility in this book. She is not a soft or sympathetic character, but that is one of the things that I enjoy best about her. I would have appreciated a bit more tension between the characters due to her actions at the conclusion of the first novel, but the excitement of the various schemes and heists more than made up for it.
My biggest complaint is that the story, while not ended on a cliffhanger, doesn’t quite feel finished to me. I feel like there is so much more left to tell, and was vaguely unsatisfied by the ending. I suppose if a book’s biggest failing is that it leaves you wanting more of the story and the world that the characters inhabit, it’s not really much of a failing at all.
That being said, I hope that the author doesn’t leave us too long without a new work–whether with these characters or in a whole new cast from her imagination. I will definitely pick up a copy whenever that happens.

Six months after seizing her crown, Teia isn't enjoying her time as Queen. Instead she must deal with a man, who should be dead, attempting to raise a beast that may or may not be real. Determined to be better than those in power before her, Teia makes the journey to Shaylan to warn her mother's family of the plot to destroy the world as they know it. Unfortunately for Teia, the key to defeating Cornelius Lehm and his insane plan might just lie in the very people who vowed to kill her if they ever cross paths again.
"I'm many things. A villain, a fiend, a ruler, a monster who lurks in the dark and preys on your fears."
I really enjoyed the book!! Wang did an excellent job concluding Teia's story. There were parts that lulled a bit, so it took a while longer to finish than the first book did. But the twists were amazing, the combat scenes were really well done, and the changes Teia went through made her a really well-rounded character. I cannot wait to see what Wang writes next, I'm sure I'll devour it!
Big thanks to NetGalley, Bindery Books, and Violetear for the eARC! Projected publishing date: October 28th, 2025

~~Thank you to NetGalley and Bindery Books for the ARC!~~
4.5/5 stars rounded up!
My praises from The Inferno's Heir hold up perfectly here. Teia is still an amazing protagonist, and the chemistry she shares with the side characters, both familiar and new, is still delightful as ever. The heist shenanigans aren't as intriguing here as they were in the first book, but you can't break into a prison twice in the same series. Besides, it still was fun and never failed to show off Teia's intelligence and cunning.
My wish for more worldbuilding was fulfilled here. Shaylan felt just as rich and fleshed as out Erisha, and Teia's perspective as a newcomer to her mom's homeland provided interesting perspectives. I do hope Wang gets to explore the other three kingdoms in a sister series, though, because even though Teia's story ends here, there's so much potential to explore the remaining kingdoms through the eyes of another protagonist.
Overall, I really liked this duology, and I hope to come back to it in the future (When I have the time; I still have so much other stuff I need to catch up on).

I haven’t read the first book in the series, but I was surprised by how quickly I was able to immerse myself in Teia’s world. The story picks up six months after her hard-won rise to power, and from the first chapter, I was drawn into the tension between her past betrayals and the high-stakes mission ahead. The writing is vivid, and the pacing is tight, with a good balance of political intrigue, personal conflict, and hints of romance.
Teia is a compelling protagonist—flawed, determined, and wrestling with the weight of her choices. I especially appreciated the layers in her dynamic with Tobias, which felt authentic and emotionally charged. The threat of Cornelius Lehm and the looming legendary creature added a sense of urgency that kept me turning pages.
That said, there were moments where I wished for more context from the first book—some character motivations and world-building details felt slightly out of reach. Still, it didn’t stop me from investing in the stakes or caring about the characters.
Overall, this book delivers an emotionally charged fantasy adventure with just enough grit and heart. I’ll definitely be going back to read book

I do have to say that I did like the first book more than this sequel.
This sequel picks up right after the events of the previous book, The Inferno's Heir, with Teia having succeeded. She now has a new task to focus on, a journey to another country to warn them of the threats and dangers to come. She now has the dilemma of working alongside those she betrayed. Oopsy.
I think this book dragged quite a bit more than the previous one, so that made it hard for me to get invested. Some moments were more rushed-feeling and others dragged on unnecessarily. Pacing in a fantasy is so important to me. And when it's that back and forth, it really pulls me out of the story.
I did really like that we got to explore more of this world in this book. We learn more about the different countries, the political climate and drama, and how they all connect.
Overall, this was a fun little duology with such pretty covers. I am impressed with this new author and am interested to see what else she creates.

I've received "Tempest Queen" as an ARC. My review is my honest opinion.
After the surprising ending of the first book, we end up with a queen, a thief, the Poison Master, the champion, a lord who was a rebel, an emperor (a cousin of the queen), an advisor and the Society of Thieves that work together to stop a very bad man from doing a very, very bad thing. The same qualities of the first book are still there - the world building, the twists and turns, intrigues, betrayal and the power that corrupts many, the humour and the fellowship. The ending is a bit sad, but very satisfying.
I recommend the duology to anyone who wants to read high fantasy with a strong FMC who will burn the world down if needed and/or command the water in the laungs to drown you where you stand. There are multiple love stories if you are looking for romance in fantasy books, but they are not overshadowing the rest of the tale. Very well written, beautifully imagined and breathtakingly surprising. Just as I like it. Would I allow my kids to read this? Absolutely yes.

Firstly, as always the cover of this book is absolutely stunning, I didn’t think we could get better after the first but I was clearly wrong!
Tempests Queen starts where we left off, and our Teia is on a journey to her homeland, where there are new and old friends to meet and love, whilst working towards finally defeating Lehm.
My favourite part of the book was for sure the further exploration of the five kingdoms, I thought this was done in a really well rounded way and I found it really engaging. I loved the way this expanded and completed the overall world building that started in book one.
I loved how this book rounded up a conclusion from its previous nicely, I think the pacing was a little slow at times but for the most part I was engaged and wanting to find out more and more.
I adore our characters (Kyra is my personal fave forever).
Overall I did enjoy this book but I just think book one will forever be a sweet spot for me!

Overall I did enjoy this book but I just think book one will forever be a sweet spot for me!

This is Book 2 in the Inferno’s Heir Duology.
I loved this book so much. It is just as good as Book 1. This book has political intrigue, rebel schemes, extortion, heists, and redemption. We follow Teia on her journey of redemption after her betrayals in Book 1.
Teia has so much growth in this book becoming a better and stronger version of herself. This is a healing book of self discovery for Teia with plenty of adventure, heists and schemes. I love how she is always one step ahead of everyone. Even the reader! She gives me Ocean’s 11 vibes when she lets you in on the scheme!
This book is a page turner. It is very hard to not read in one setting.
This duology gives The Cruel Prince vibes as Teia and Jude are so much alike� BA QUEENS! Go read this duology!! You won’t regret it!
Thank you so much Bindery Books and NetGalley for the eARC

4.5 stars Tempest’s queen. 4.5 stars
First of all Tiffany Wang has crafted a great story about Teia and the challenges she faces.
Like the previous book Inferno’s heir there are many challenges from the first chapter and weave through out the whole book.
Adding in more political pulls from Teia point of view, new characters and the relationships that come with them.
Lehms plotting.
Traitors
As well as Hard choices for Teia and her friends.
Us readers are in for a great ride when it comes to the Tempest’s queen.
I did find some parts less engaging then some but still think this is a great read and a good ending for Teia’s story but I hope there is more to come from Tiffany Wangs world because there is a lot more that can come from the series. Fingers crossed.

Teia lost everyone due to her decision to betray those who trusted her in a quest to get the crown. Now she is Queen but the fight is far from over.
I really enjoyed book 1 so I was excited for book 2 and the author did not disappoint! I enjoyed this book more then the first. This book was action packed from the beginning to end and I loved that. The characters had to deal with their one personal inner struggles and politically stances. This causing them to ver from there own moral compass or wants. Because of this, all characters became unpredictable which made their stories unpredictable. Isn’t that what every reader wants. Well it’s exactly what I want. The only thing this story was missing was more of the water dragon.
Overall this was a very well written and enjoyable duology!

Thank you to Tiffany Wang and NetGalley for the ARC! All opinions are my own.
Now onto the book!
I loved TEMPEST'S QUEEN more than I did it's predecessor. Teia is still Morally ambitious, morally ambiguous, and willing to stab people in the back. Now, she has a crown to go alongside it, and this time she is trying to help her cousin grom.bejng attacked.
Like the first novel of this duology, Teia is someone you root for but she's also a bit like her own villain. There's twists and betrayals, love and angst, and it's all so well written you won't want it to end.
Some reviewers have stated they wished the ending was different or that there was more to it, but I thought it suited the text well and, overall, made for a wonderful conclusion to a very, very good duology.

Beautifully written, action packed, but still left me wanting more!
The second book in this duology has our main cast of characters in turmoil after Teia has forcefully taken her place upon the throne. She must now travel to the homeland of her mother to try and stop the destructive plans of Dawnbreaker leader Lehm.
Filled with lots of distrust, miscommunication, and haphazard planning -- a wild ride! Feel like all of these characters deserved more of an HEA than they got.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

What a powerful end to this duology! Tempest's Queen was such a wild ride with one twist after another. Rich story telling and vivid world building combined with the growth of the characters definitely made this my favorite book of the two and I'm a bit bummed that there is not another book to look forward to!
My only complaint is that I did think the heroine's plans were unnecessarily complicated and conveniently revealed after everything seems to go wrong but then somehow goes conveniently according to plan.

Tempest’s Queen picks up where Inferno’s heir left off and we get to see the consequences of Teia’s actions at the end of book 1. We travel to Shaylan and meet some new characters and reunite with some old ones on a quest to stop Lehm from raising the Serkawr. The scheming, heists, and battles did not disappoint. I did not see the twist at the end coming and the end had me in tears (both happy and sad!)
Thank you to Tiffany Wang, Bindery Books, Violetear, and NetGalley for an ARC!

Inferno's Heir has become one of my favorite duologies - it's the perfect combination of Six of Crows, Avatar, and The Poppy War, with fresh takes on morally gray characters.
Teia has become a favorite protagonist for me - her ruthless ambition combined with her fierce love and protectiveness for her loved ones makes her a fascinating and complex heroine. I would have liked to see more development from the cast of characters - while Enna and Tobias are important to the plot, I didn't feel a very deep connection to them, and I would have liked to learn more about them on their own and not in relation to Teia.
The plot was extremely fun and I loved that it was set in Shaylan. The idea of Memory Keepers was really interesting and the worldbuilding was done really nicely. Tiffany Wang did an amazing job creating a whole new setting while maintaining the same tone and pacing as the first book.
The open ending was also appreciated and I am so very excited to see where Tiffany Wang goes with her writing. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Bindery Books for the eARC!!
