Weave the Lightning

by Corry L. Lee

Overview

Empire. Revolution. Magic.

Gerrit is the son of Bourshkanya’s Supreme-General. Despite his powerful storm-affinity and the State’s best training, he can’t control his magic. To escape the brutal consequences, he flees.

Celka is a travelling circus performer, hiding both her link to the underground and her storm-affinity from the prying eyes of the secret police. But Gerrit’s arrival threatens to expose everything: her magic, her family, and the people they protect.

The storms have returned, and everything will change.

From the Publisher

An electrifying debut (pardon the pun) that infuses magical resistance with a Russian flair. You bet I’ll be reading the sequel when it comes out.

Lightspeed Magazine

"Lee's debut is a dazzling – and timely – high-wire act."

Ian Tregillis (author of the Alchemy Wars Trilogy)
