Overview:
Step into the shadowed, glittering streets of White Roaring with this compact two-book collection from Hafsah Faizal, a master of high-stakes fantasy and lush world-building. Blood and Tea fuses urban fantasy with gothic intrigue, delivering a seamless arc across two tightly interwoven adventures. In A Tempest of Tea: A Steeping of Blood, Arthie Casimir runs a revered tearoom that moonlights as an illegal bloodhouse for vampires roaming the city’s night markets. When her livelihood comes under threat, she partners with a provocatively stubborn ally and mobilises a crew whose loyalties are as slippery as the city’s alleys. As the heist unfolds, treachery surfaces, conspiracies deepen, and Arthie discovers that the true danger may lie not in the vampires outside her doors, but in the secrets she must confront within her own crew. The follow-up, A Steeping of Blood, carries the tremor of aftermath into a city on edge. With press silence, public unrest, and a celebration looming, Arthie must navigate shifting alliances, old ghosts, and a fragile balance between love and duty. Faizal’s voice remains bold, witty, and deeply immersive, making this collection a perfect gateway into a richly imagined paranormal world.

What Makes This Collection Special:
This two-book set is crafted for readers who crave a complete, immersive arc without waiting for a long series to unfold. Faizal’s signature blend of literary storytelling and page-turning suspense creates a binge-worthy experience: a heist at the heart of a vampiric society, followed by a tense, emotionally charged pursuit of justice and redemption. The pairing keeps the world intimate and vivid—arthie’s tea-room as a political stage, the streets of White Roaring as a living character, and a cast of allies and antagonists who feel intimately real. Owning the pair as a connected collection offers streamlined reading, consistent tone, and a striking, cohesive shelf presence for those who love collector sets and gift-worthy editions. It’s the kind of duology that invites re-reading, discussion, and quick-fire recommendations on BookTok and in book clubs alike.

Books Included in This Collection:
A Tempest of Tea: A Steeping of Blood
In this opening entry, Arthie’s dual life as a hostess and covert fixer places her at the centre of a perilous plan to infiltrate a glittering yet deadly vampire society. The book balances stylish world-building with sharp dialogue and a swift, cinematic pace. Expect Velvety-young romance tempered by danger, clever misdirections, and a heroine who refuses to bow to fate. Faizal’s prose invites you to savor every scene—the teahouse rituals, the nocturnal markets, and the moment when the truth finally begins to crack the city’s mask. A Tempest of Tea is a confident, delicious start to a two-part saga, perfect for readers who enjoy atmospheric fantasy with a thriller edge.

A Steeping of Blood
The momentum carries into the second installment, where the consequences of the initial heist ripple through White Roaring. As the city reels, Arthie must steer through shifting loyalties and personal reckonings, all while keeping her crew together enough to face a final, daunting confrontation. The stakes are higher, the emotional pull deeper, and the world Faizal has built—with its vampire politics, treacherous alliances, and defiant heroine—feels both intimate and epic. This continuation rewards readers with a tightly wound finale that honours the series’ core themes: courage, trust, and the cost of truth.
