The Lightning Conjurer: The Awakening

Résumé

Three years ago, Aspen (as she calls herself) awoke alone in an empty cabin in the forest, not knowing her name, where she came from, or where she was. Since then, she’s been forced to live entirely off the grid, without gas, internet, or electricity.

But this week has been stranger than ever, as Aspen finds herself dealing with tornadoes that appear out of nowhere, fireplaces that eject plumes of fire straight into her living room, and freezing bathwater that heats with a single, wishful thought. Even the college class she’s auditing goes awry when the associate professor, Aiden, has a problem with her from the moment she sets foot in the lecture. When he confronts her after class, she panics, causing the ceiling lights to explode in a shower of sparks. That’s when Aiden realizes what she is.

Like him, this young woman with the strangely-colored eyes is an Elementalist; someone who can wield one, maybe two, of the five Elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Lightning. But there’s something very remarkable about Aspen – she’s the first Elementalist in centuries who may be able to wield all five, catching the attention of an ancient organization called the Asterian Order.

In her mission to discover who – and what – she is, Aspen must learn to control her powers, navigate her budding feelings for Aiden, and unearth the startling secret about her past that no one wants her to figure out.*
