Riveting... lyrical and powerful. Charley feels like a kick ass hero with a strong sense of self and confidence.
I was cracked open and invited into my own healing journey, and my own magic.
This book is cinematic, and many times I forgot I was reading.
A transgender boy, destined to heal an empire—with storm magic.
1848. The Age of Revolutions. Charley Beaumont was born in a body that never felt like home. Raised on legends of Alekzandr, a storm-wielder who saved their people from a devastating tempest, Charley dreams of becoming a hero—strong enough to escape parents who refuse to see him. When an ancient goddess awakens storm magic within him, his destiny seems within reach. Until tragedy buries the gift so deep he can't remember it ever existed.
Now eighteen, Charley struggles to survive under Imperial Doryan occupation, where his power remains locked behind trauma and an identity he's still learning to claim. When a malevolent colonel in the Doryan Army threatens to seize his ancestral land, he finds unexpected allies who see him for who he truly is: a widowed farmer fighting his own battle for acceptance, and a duke who understands what it means to live between worlds.
As enemies close in, Charley discovers the legend that shaped him holds a devastating secret—and the Goddess chose him for a reason he never imagined. To save his people, Charley must unlock magic that can't be wielded through destruction. True power demands something far more dangerous: love.
The series explores various types of trauma, from systemic to parental to ritual abuse and SA. Though it's YA and there is no graphic content, certain events are implied, and we journey with each character's emotions as they heal and discover their path.
