Imagine being declared an outlaw, to be executed on sight, simply for being who you are, never having committed any crime. In a land far, far away, where the king’s word is law and his soldiers obey his rules without question, the king has declared any person even capable of becoming a magic user is a criminal. The mysterious Uncle Romke rushes to gather all his talented nieces and nephews in a wild attempt to take them to safety out of the kingdom. Hunted by the king’s men, the oddly matched collection of talented younglings scramble to reach safety while they deal with accepting each other. Awbrey doesn’t understand why she has been pulled out of her home, her plans to marry her sweetheart destroyed, and dragged through the kingdom in a cramped horse-drawn wagon with a growing mob of odd children when she believes she isn’t even a person of magic. Yet, it is Awbrey’s talent that could save them all, if they can be saved. Unparalleled in scope and execution, Dark Thunder will catch you up from the opening pages and won’t let you go until the end.
