In a world where power can be both a curse and a weapon, Storm must navigate the dangerous path between protecting those he loves and becoming the monster he fears.

When Storm accidentally kills a Yegon—one of his own kind—he has no idea of the hidden power that dwells within him.

As he becomes entangled in a dangerous relationship with Radnya, a forbidden fruit to him, Storm becomes even more drawn to this alluring darkness.

Increasingly afraid of his magical abilities, the Yegons blame him for the inexplicable deaths that are happening on the Sun, and they concoct a plan to kill him. But Storm survives—only to learn that Radnya’s memories of their time together have been erased.

Storm decides to use his power to seize control of the Yegons from their governor Abner and wreak vengeance against his would-be murderers.

But when he takes Abner's daughter Lotus as his slave, he doesn’t expect the mysterious effect that her unique gift will have on him.

She believes that Storm’s sinister curse can be broken ... but he must find the fortitude to fight the manipulation of a dark influence within him.
