A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal

Product Details

About the Book

Why save the world when you can have tea? On the streets of White Roaring — a city erected upon the remnants of a once-colonized nation — Arthie Casimir is a criminal mastermind and collector of secrets. By day, her prestigious tearoom, Spindrift, caters to the city's elite; by night, it transforms into an illegal bloodhouse, feeding the vampires who stalk the streets and providing a secure haven for both her crew and her clientele in a world where humans and vampires exist in uneasy, simmering tension.

But when Arthie's livelihood is threatened, she's forced to strike an unlikely — and frustratingly handsome — deal with an alluring adversary to save it, since she can't pull off the job alone. Calling on some of the city's most skilled outcasts, Arthie hatches a plan to infiltrate the sinister, glittering vampire society known as the Athereum. But not everyone in her ragtag crew is on her side, and as the truth behind the heist unfolds, Arthie finds herself caught in the middle of a conspiracy that threatens to upend the world as she knows it. Dark, action-packed, and swoonworthy, the novel blends found-family heist dynamics, vampire lore, and simmering romance into the first half of the Blood and Tea duology.
