Lightning Strikes

Cygean Chronicles: Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Where magic marks you for death, and love is the most dangerous gift of all.

Storm has one gift: command over earth and sky.

Lightning has another: animals answer when he calls.

Both are hunted by a world that fears their kind.

Both believe they are alone.

In a world where their people are slaughtered for being different, mother and son walk separate paths. Searching and running. Trying to stay alive long enough to find home.

But home might be each other.

Lightning Strikes, the first book in The Cygean Chronicles—where magic marks you for death, and love is the most dangerous gift of all.

Storm and Lightning's journey has only just begun.

For readers who love Robin Hobb's character-driven storytelling and the emotional depth of Naomi Novik's Uprooted.
