Synopsis

Before she was the super hero Storm of Marvel's X-Men, she was Ororo of Cairo—a teenaged thief on the streets of Egypt, until her growing powers catch the eye of a villain who steals people's souls. An epic origin story that will blow you away, from the New York Times bestselling author of Monday's Not Coming.

"Tiffany D. Jackson has crafted the story of Storm that the world has been waiting for!" —Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Few can weather the storm.

As a thief on the streets of Cairo, Ororo Munroe is an expert at blending in—keeping her blue eyes low and her white hair beneath a scarf. Stealth is her specialty . . . especially since strange things happen when she loses control.

Lately, Ororo has been losing control more often, setting off sudden rainstorms and mysterious winds . . . and attracting dangerous attention. When she is forced to run from the Shadow King, a villain who steals people's souls, she has nowhere to turn to but herself. There is something inside her, calling her across Africa, and the hidden truth of her heritage is close enough to taste.

But as Ororo nears the secrets of her past, her powers grow stronger and the Shadow King veers closer and closer. Can she outrun the shadows that chase her? Or can she step into the spotlight and embrace the coming storm?

In her first speculative novel, New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson casts a breathtaking spell with one of Marvel's most beloved characters, and brings the superhero Storm to life as you've never seen her before.

Goodreads review by Rosa on June 11, 2024

I read this as a Storm fan so my rating reflects that. This book is a bit disjointed. There are some highs, like Storm coming into her powers. But I think the self-loathing is a bit over the top. And Storm being so male-centered was not on my bingo list. I think this was a difficult task to do and s......more

Goodreads review by Monique on September 29, 2024

Storm is one of my favorite superheroes! BUT Storm was written to be so annoying in this book. I couldn't stand her & her major attitude, which made this hard to read. I figured there was a reason why and she would loosen up by the end of the book. And yes, it was the. very. end when she finally sto......more
