New York Times bestselling author Cora Carmack's young adult debut: Roar.
In a land ruled and shaped by violent magical storms, power lies with those who control them.
Aurora Pavan comes from one of the oldest Stormling families in existence. Long ago, the ungifted pledged fealty and service to her family in exchange for safe haven, and a kingdom was carved out from the wildlands and sustained by magic capable of repelling the worldâs deadliest foes. As the sole heir of Pavan, Aurora's been groomed to be the perfect queen. Sheâs intelligent and brave and honorable. But sheâs yet to show any trace of the magic sheâll need to protect her people.
To keep her secret and save her crown, Auroraâs mother arranges for her to marry a dark and brooding Stormling prince from another kingdom. At first, the prince seems like the perfect solution to all her problems. Heâll guarantee her spot as the next queen and be the champion her people need to remain safe. But the more secrets Aurora uncovers about him, the more a future with him frightens her. When she dons a disguise and sneaks out of the palace one night to spy on him, she stumbles upon a black market dealing in the very thing she lacksâstorm magic. And the people selling it? Theyâre not Stormlings. Theyâre storm hunters.
Legend says that her ancestors first gained their magic by facing a storm and stealing part of its essence. And when a handsome young storm hunter reveals he was born without magic, but possesses it now, Aurora realizes thereâs a third option for her future besides ruin or marriage. She might not have magic now, but she can steal it if sheâs brave enough.
Challenge a tempest. Survive it. And you become its master.
