A Tempest of Tea is the 1st book in the Blood and Tea Series. Janine O’Malley at FSG has bought, in an exclusive submission, A Tempest of Tea by bestselling author Hafsah Faizal , first in a duology pitched as King Arthur meets Peaky Blinders with vampires.
The novel follows a gang of outcasts in a deadly heist led by Arthie Casimir to save her tearoom – which fronts an illegal blood house, where local vampires can purchase fresh blood. Publication of the first novel is set for Fall 2022; Josh Adams at Adams Literary did the two-book deal for world English rights.
