Hurricane Zero

Freedom Through Fire Saga #2

by India Johnson

“BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TRUST."

A year ago, Skylar Rusten lost everything.

Today, the Rebellion is alive. The wolves and crickcrawks still seek to obliterate humanity, but in their new stronghold, she and her friends are safe. Until her birthday arrives—and the celebration goes awry.

In the blink of an eye, Sky finds herself in a new world—one she didn’t know existed. Her friends are nowhere to be found. And when forced to rely on strangers, she fears she may have misplaced her trust. Mysterious letters and missing memories plague Sky day and night as she struggles to find a place in her new life. One thing is clear: Her parents lied. As Sky searches for her friends, a new fear creeps in. Is anything she remembers true? Or is it all a lie?


Dystopia crashes into fantasy in this epic middle-grade adventure. Written from the eye-opening realistic perspective of a young teen, the Freedom Through Fire Saga is perfect for fans of Keeper of the Lost Cities, the Wingfeather Saga, and The Green Ember series.

About the author

Hi! I’m India Johnson, a teenage author hailing from beautiful Colorado. I’m the author of the middle-grade Freedom Through Fire Saga, illustrator for the bestselling National Park Mystery Series, and author/illustrator for Firefly Tales. I'm also a recipient of multiple Scholastic Gold Key awards. I aim to share meaningful, thought-provoking stories in a culture that refuses to challenge its ideology. While at it, I strive to encourage other young creators to pursue their dreams. You can find me spending time with my wonderful family, touring the national parks, drinking boba tea, or yelling at fictional characters. Or on my website ;)
