MAY THE SEA ALWAYS SING FOR YOU
Cat Rose knows what it is to live in two worlds, in two times. Before - as Lady Catrine Rose of the Meridian Empire, chained to a loathsome lord with a dwindling fortune. And after - as the Widow Rose, queen of a pirate tavern on the Lyrian Sea, determined to be the master of her own fate.
But tides turn and winds change. The Meridian Empire looms on the horizon, the full weight of her navy falling on the Lyrian, bent on reclaiming the wealthy colonies and crushing the pirate republic once and for all. Ship after ship is captured, save for one, captained by a pirate who continually evades both noose and blade: the legendary Valerian Kane.
With his fearsome ship and uncanny connection to the song of the sea, Valerian is the only man who might rally the pirates who remain. The only man who threatens the Empire. And the only man Cat has ever loved, blazing in and out of her life like a star.
Desperate for victory, the Empire offers Cat a devastating choice: bring them Valerian or hang. In truth, no choice at all. But Cat Rose is nothing if not a survivor. A storm is rising on the Lyrian Sea - the question is, what will it leave in its wake?
From Sunday Times bestselling author Victoria Aveyard comes an epic adventure of love and betrayal amid a brutal war for the high seas.©2026 Victoria Aveyard

A masterful, nautical tale. Aveyard's adult debut is a cinematic triumph, brimming with adventure, ambition, and the wild pull of the sea. An exhilarating must-read
Her best yet. Sang to me like the sea: a risk-taking time-dancing tale of high adventure. I so enjoyed sailing on the Lyrian sea
Beautifully crafted and rich with complex characters, Tempest weaves a sweeping tale that will delight readers searching for their next fantasy epic
Bold, immersive, and cinematic - this is Victoria Aveyard at her finest. Tempest is a masterful blend of high-stakes intrigue, heart-stopping action, and unforgettable characters that will leave readers desperate for more
Epic, thrilling and outrageously fun. Aveyard is a master at cinematic storytelling and this is the sort of tale that vividly gallops through your mind and sets your heart racing
Lush, treacherous, and deeply romantic, this is the kind of fantasy that swallows you whole. Aveyard's talent for intricate worldbuilding and complex character relationships is on full display here, and I cherished every second I spent sailing these turquoise seas. Gorgeous and masterful. More, please!
