As a slave in the war-weary kingdom of Faelen, seventeen-year-old Nym isn’t merely devoid of rights, her Elemental kind are only born male and always killed at birth — meaning, she shouldn’t even exist.
Standing on the auction block beneath smoke-drenched mountains, Nym faces her fifteenth sell. But when her hood is removed and her storm-summoning killing curse revealed, Nym is snatched up by a court advisor and given a choice: be trained as the weapon Faelen needs to win the war, or be killed.
Choosing the
former, Nym is unleashed into a world of politics, bizarre parties, and rumors
of an evil more sinister than she’s being prepared to fight . . . not to
mention the handsome trainer whose dark secrets lie behind a mysterious ability
to calm every lightning strike she summons.
But what if she doesn’t want to be the weapon they’ve all been waiting for?
Set in a
beautifully eclectic world of suspicion, super abilities, and monsters, Storm
Siren is a story of power. And whoever controls that power will win.
Nym risked her life to save Faelen, her homeland, from a losing war, only to
discover that the shapeshifter Draewulf has stolen everything she holds dear.
But when the repulsive monster robs Nym of her storm-summoning abilities as
well, the beautiful Elemental realizes herwar is only just
beginning.
Now powerless to control the elements that once emboldened her, Nym stows away
on an airship traveling to the metallic kingdom of Bron. She must stop
Draewulf. But the horrors he’s brought to life and the secrets of Bron are more
than Nym bargained for. Then the disturbing Lord Myles tempts her with new
powers that could destroy the monster, and Nym must decide whether she can
compromise in the name of good even if it costs her very soul.
As she navigates the stark industrial cityscape of Bron, Nym is faced with an
impossible choice: change the future with one slice of a blade…or sacrifice the
entire kingdom for the one thing her heart just can’t let go.
With the loss of Tulla still fresh in mind, Rasha’s fate unknown, and Lord
Myles taken over by the dark ability, Nym and the few Bron soldiers rush to
warn Cashlin’s queen. Only to discover it may already be too late for the
monarch and her eerie kingdom. As the Luminescents are sifting through Nym’s
past memories and the queen is reading into her future, Nym is given a choice
of how to defeat Draewulf, but the cost may be more than she can bear. And even
then there are no guarantees.
With that reality burrowing into her bones—along with the guilt of the lives
she will sacrifice—Nym returns to her homeland of Faelen to raise an army of
peasants through promises of freedom. But when the few friends she has left,
along with the world and citizens she loves, are staring down the face of a
monster and his undead army, will Nym summon every element her blood is capable
of controlling . . . or surrender to a different strength—one of sacrifice?
Because in the end, death may be more merciful for them all.
