“Cradit’s delivery of mystery and intrigue is flawless.”- Elizabeth Burgess, Author of the Counterplay series“Be still my heart. Nicolas Deschanel is back and better than ever.”- Melannie SavellNicolas Deschanel spent thirty-two years holding court as the princeling of New Orleans and heir to his family’s dynasty, with no obligations beyond his own pleasures. Following a storm of events, his rock … storm of events, his rock bottom leads him back to his family, where he finds redemption in contrite service. Paired with the pragmatic Lauren-who is deeply skeptical of his reformation-the two spend their days in seclusion, cultivating the lofty research goals of the Deschanel Magi Collective.
Charlotte Fontenot is calculated and driven in her approach to her mission in Paris. With help from her cousin Julian, they follow Gabrielle and Lawrence Henry, siblings whose unusual behavior has caught the attention of witches in Paris. The cousins quickly realize neither sibling is what they seem, and Charlotte’s fearlessness leads her closer and closer to mysterious philanthropist Lawrence.
With Charlotte and Julian settled in Paris, Nicolas and Lauren shift their focus to a special, secret project: quietly and carefully investigating the women of the powerful LaViolette family, distant cousins of the Deschanels. This assignment quickly leads them down a dangerous path, one where turning back is no longer an option. Events in both New Orleans and Paris begin to spin wildly beyond the control of all involved, and when the dust settles, nothing will ever be the same.
From USA Today bestselling paranormal author Sarah M. Cradit comes a thrilling new series, Midnight Dynasty.

Nicolas Deschanel, heir to his family’s legacy, used to spend his days partying and sleeping around. Recent events have led him to stop his bachelor ways, and focus on his duties to his family and his job. He is now paired with the beautiful and savvy Lauren Weatherly, a brilliant woman who’s extremely disbelieving of his change of heart, on a special mission.
Charlotte Fontenot and her cousin, Julian, have been assigned another mission. They are to follow Gabrielle and Lawrence Henry, whose actions have caught the attention of the local witches. But as Charlotte becomes more entangled with Lawrence, Julian starts having visions that have him questioning Lawrence’s intentions. This also leads him to become incredibly concerned for Charlotte’s safety.
“A Tempest of Discovery” is an absolutely exquisite paranormal romance by Sarah M Cradit. From the very first chapter, Cradit draws you into her version of New Orleans. My favorite character in this book was Lauren. She is absolutely brilliant, and gorgeous even though she doesn’t see it. Nicolas is someone I really feel for. He’s trying to make a new life for himself, but because his old behavior lasted so long, everyone has a hard time believing that he’s changed. Charlotte is bright and determined, but she’s also very reckless. And Julian is such a sweetheart, he just wants to keep his cousin out of trouble. He’s also incredibly smart. This was a wonderful book, and I can’t wait to continue with the series.
New Orleans is a vibe.
From the culture to the city, everything has that mystery and charm only New Orleans can offer.
Right from the beginning, I was pulled into the world of Deschanels. Nicolas is brooding and struggling with his own demons. That only made him more appealing to me. There is a sense of unseen danger. I can’t properly describe it but you can feel that something monumental is building. That made it impossible to put the book down! I needed to know what would happen next! The characters were interesting in their own way. Intertwined by family yet so very different. The story picks up and I am rapidly turning pages and then Miss Cradit hits me with that ending. BAM! What just happened? Yes my mouth is open. Well done Miss Cradit, well done.
If you’re a fan of stories taking place in New Orleans and love magic, this book and series is for you. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed. Add it to your TBR today! I give it 5 stars.
A Tempest of Discovery: Midnight Dynasty Book One
As expected, the first installment in Cradit’s Midnight Dynasty series did not disappoint. In this book, we revisit some our favorite Deschanels (Nicolas, Colleen) and delve deeper into their family tree with the Fontenots, headlined by fierce Charlotte. Also we are introduced to the mysterious LaViolettes, a female-centered family with mysterious ties to our favorite magical family. Though it is a continuation of The House of Crimson and Clover series, it’s not necessary to have prior knowledge of those books to understand this one. If you enjoy a story with twists and turns and shocking endings, this is the book for you. Cradit’s delivery of mystery and intrigue is flawless. Five stars.
I stumbled onto this author with her last series and you know how it is, I wondered, hoped and prayed that she could pull off a new spin off. Man not only did she pull it off but this spin off book one has me all in a tither and hooked. This author has an imagination that can’t be rivaled and she draws you in and makes you a part of the story. As we see Nicolas and the changes he has made and peaks at what the other teammates are doing we see we are in for one heck of a series. I love this author and her characters even when they are doing the unspeakable.
I can’t wait to see what this author will do with this new branch of the family and what we may be witness to. The journey promises to be a whirlwind adventure and I can’t wait. If it’s anything like the last series you will want to read it all because there is always something hidden and these jewels should not be missed.
