When elven ranger Elovorne finds a lost, terrified girl alone in the woods, fleeing the ruins of her raided village, he has no idea he's just changed the fate of two kingdoms.
Cora is ten years old, orphaned, and carrying something even she doesn't understand - a spark of magic older and stranger than anything her human blood should allow. As Elovorne raises her in the ways of the bow and the wild, an ancient evil is already watching, already reaching for her, and it will stop at nothing to bring her into the dark.
Alongside a battle-scarred dwarf, a warrior orc bound by an unlikely oath, and a halfling paladin sworn to root out evil wherever it hides, Elovorne and Cora are drawn into a war far bigger than either of them - one that will cost them everything they love before it's through.
The Lightning Chronicles is a classic tale of found family, hidden power, and the storm that follows a girl the darkness refuses to let go.
