Tricia Levenseller makes her adult romantasy debut with “What Fury Brings” - and wow, this story was amazing! This story is raw, dark, and unapologetically furious - and with everything going on in the world today, this is exactly the story I needed to hear.

The book is set in Amarra, a matriarchal society where women rule and men are literally captured to ensure noble lineages. The main character, Olerra, is a fierce and ambitious warrior fighting for her place as heir to the throne. She accidentally kidnaps the wrong prince - Sanos, the crowned prince of a rival kingdom - and that mistake sets off a chain of political intrigue, dangerous games, and a romance that is anything but simple.
What I loved:
The bold worldbuilding - a matriarchy that flips gender power dynamics on their head. Levenseller doesn’t shy away from making this world brutal, messy, and thought-provoking.
Olerra herself. She’s strong, ruthless at times, and refuses to apologize for her ambition. She’s also naively authentic at times which makes the budding romance between her and Sanos that more endearing.
The tone. Levenseller balances dark, heavy themes with moments of humor and snappy pacing, which kept me turning the pages - I literally devoured this book in one day!
And of course, the romance. It’s spicy, it’s complicated (true enemies to lovers!), and for readers who like their romance with high stakes, this definitely delivers.
That said, this isn’t a book for everyone. The romance may feel more physical than emotional at times, and the themes are also heavy - there’s kidnapping, bondage, abuse, and other triggers, so definitely check content warnings first.
For me, this book worked because it’s not trying to be soft or gentle. It’s meant to be intense, sexy, and cathartic. It’s Levenseller writing with rage and passion, and you can feel it on every page.
If you loved her YA work, just know this isn’t that - this is her turned all the way up to adult. I’d recommend it for readers who enjoy dark, boundary-pushing romantasies with a fearless heroine and aren’t afraid of a little chaos in their romance.
Rating: 5/5 Stars
