To Free the Rising Storm

What is more deadly: a power you cannot control, or falling for someone you cannot have?

Born with unnatural white hair and afflicted with a mysterious illness, Mae Mordaunt's life feels like an inescapable curse. Attacked by the man her cruel father wants her to marry, she manages to defend herself with a jolting magic she didn't know she possessed-a power that speaks of elves and the gods. Desperate for truth and freedom, she befriends Elven-blooded Varys Wynhart. A scholar and librarian with his own secrets, he has devoted himself to researching The ReEmergence of Magic. But the woman he has always been captivated by harbingers a miscalculated chaos, and Mae Mordaunt is a puzzle he is more than willing to solve.

Lives and hearts intertwined, Varys and Mae soon learn of their own destinies, but can they survive the lies threatening to rip them apart?

Reviews for To Free the Rising Storm:

"A decadent feast for the heart and soul, To Free the Rising Storm is the spellbinding dark romantic fantasy debut from author C.N. Maxwell. Book one of The ReEmergence Chronicles transports readers to a world drenched in history to embark on a journey of profound metamorphosis. Maxwell pens a stunning tale of weathering the storm and being reborn into something...more. Love. Loss. Betrayal. Pain. Family. Fate. It's dazzling and tragic in equal measure, and one of the best debuts I've had the pleasure of reading." - Amazon Review
