Children of the Storm


Children of the Storm tells the story of a young man, Twelve, living in a perpetually rainy town. He is poor, an orphan who spends his days as a runner clearing the debris left in the wake of the pummelling storms.

When a supernatural light explodes uncontrollably from his own hands with deadly consequences, Twelve is labelled a murderer but is rescued from certain death by a stranger.

A century later, reclusive translator, Callah, receives Twelve’s leather-bound diary and finishes the quest that he had started. They are linked through time by their responsibility to uncover the true beginnings of the Spire empire and the order of the Marshals.

A riveting read set in the future. A truly imaginative world with a remarkable origin story.
