the Sword in Thunderstorm

In the quiet kingdom of Brindlewick, storms are more than weather. Twelve-year-old Rowan Ash is only a farmer's son, until lightning strikes his family's barley field and leaves behind a sword buried in the mud. The blade hums with blue-white power. Thunder answers when Rowan speaks. And high above the clouds, ancient gates begin to break. The sword is called Tempestine, once carried by Sir Caelum Bright, the last of the legendary Storm Knights. Those knights guarded the sky gates, magical doors that keep the storm world from falling into the mortal lands. Behind those gates wait lightning wolves, thunder giants, rain witches, glass serpents, moon-eating moths, and birds large enough to carry castles. Now the gates are weakening, and Rowan must climb into the storm world with his clever little sister Elsi and the mysterious Grandmother Vey. But every time Rowan uses Tempestine, more storm enters his blood. His heartbeat begins to sound like distant thunder. Sparks snap from his fingers. His shadow flickers like lightning. If he saves the world, he may lose himself forever. As the Storm King rises and the High Gate cracks open, Rowan must decide whether to follow the fate of the last Storm Knight-or find a third choice no legend ever promised him. The Sword in the Thunderstorm is a magical fairy-tale adventure filled with courage, wonder, danger, family, ancient promises, and a boy brave enough to teach thunder mercy.
