Description
Russian-inspired epic of magical revolution & romance
“A sweeping epic of romance, revolution, elegant strangeness, and elemental magic.” --- Jason Heller
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.
“Tense, timely, and crackling with urgent energy. I guarantee that by the end of the book, you will be looking for your own resistance to join... or to start.” -- Premee Mohamed
"Lee's debut is a dazzling – and timely – high-wire act." -- Ian Tregillis author of the Alchemy Wars Trilogy
"An electrifying debut (pardon the pun) that infuses magical resistance with a Russian flair." -- Lightspeed Magazine
"Focused and honed as a lightning strike, beautifully balanced and directed." -- Seanan McGuire
