The Hurricane Wars deftly mixes some of the best elements of the fantasy romance genre to create an addictive enemies to lovers saga.
Darkness and light are eternal opposites but also forces that only truly exist thanks to the presence of the other. After all, what is darkness, without light to put it in? What is light without the dark to illuminate? These questions of balance and power run throughout Thea Guanzon’s deliciously entertaining fantasy debut,, one of the buzziest genre titles of the year—and one that is sure to delight “romantasy” fans everywhere.
Set in a lush, Southeast Asian-inspired world, the story mixes complex high fantasy elements with familiar romance tropes and displays the sort of muscular emotional dexterity that can only come from an author who’s spent some significant time writing in transformative fandom spaces. With plenty of political intrigue, a vivid magical system largely inspired by weather and themes that touch on everything from imperialism and conquest to sacrifice and duty.
As the story begins, the titular Hurricane Wars have been raging for over a decade, as the powerful Night Empire steadily advances and claims territory from neighboring kingdoms, including the Sardovian Allfold. Talasyn is an orphan foot soldier in the Sardovian army, who has no knowledge of her family and who has been fighting against the Night Empire since one of their massive stormships destroyed her orphanage .
In a last-ditch attempt to hone her own power, Talasyn is sent on a covert mission to the neutral kingdom of Nenevar, which has never chosen a side in the ongoing conflict. There, she must try to access a Light Sever—a breach in the world where her particular brand of magic is strongest, a connection point that could help her learn more about how to control and use her abilities.
As Talasyn works to learn more about her homeland’s heritage, the strange magic and advanced technology they command, and the family she never knew, she becomes increasingly embroiled in diplomatic intrigue—especially when her grandmother the queen forges a treaty with the Night Empire that requires her to marry Alaric and become the Empress of the very people who’ve systematically destroyed everything she loved.

Dark matter could be annihilating inside white dwarfsAs the search for dark matter particles continues to yield nothing, astronomers continue to look at ways these elusive particles might be found. One general method is to look for evidence of dark matter particle decay. Although dark matter doesn't interact strongly with regular matter, some dark matter models predict that dark matter particles can interact with each other, causing them to decay into regular particles.

Growing in molasses: Cosmic large-scale structure caught growing slower than expectedThe large-scale structure of the universe—the gigantic, hierarchical cosmic web of structures bound by gravity—is mostly made up of dark matter. The growth of the large-scale structure, from individual galaxies to galaxy clusters, cosmic voids and filaments (Fig. 1), revolves around a competition: Gravity pulls matter together while dark energy pushes space apart. The distribution and evolution history of matter and large-scale structure therefore provide an avenue to study the properties and nature of dark matter, gravity and dark energy.
