Lightning Storm

About the Book

Rivera and Alexia Connely are two sisters used to figuring out things on their own. It has been three months since they saw their mother, Elizabeth, leader of their coven of witches. Tasked with protecting the Shadow Coven in their mother’s absence, the sisters must rely on their Haxa magic to help prevent a takeover and a war. Alexia is the healer; Rivera is the destroyer. But everything changes when their mother suddenly returns with a war between the Haxa and the humans following closely at her heels—a war with the potential to cause catastrophic events.

Rivera, who is furious at her mother’s plot, resolves to do the right thing. Alexia, less certain of the right thing, is content to follow a more confident Rivera, even if only for a little while. As Rivera and Alexia rely on their dark and healing magic to lead a group of Haxa into battle to save the humans—with help from Rivera’s best friend and an unlikely human partner—the sisters face betrayal from every direction. Now only one question remains: will they survive?

In this young adult fantasy, two teenage Haxa sisters destined to fight in a war between morals and species are about to learn that the battle is only the beginning of a life ruled by choices.
