Weave the Lightning

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.

Super fun adventure!

I have had a wonderful time within Corry’s imagination! They have spun a tale of overlapping worlds, rebellion, and storm-crossed lovers.

A culture without gendered expectations.
High-wire walking under a big top.
Hob nail booted oppressors.

There is a wonderful soft magic system based upon a connection to nature, emotional investment, and a clear sense of self.

Please take the time to enjoy their prose! I’m jumping directly into the sequel today.
