E.L. Reeves

A runaway slave. A woman with the power to summon storms. An assassin itching for adventure.

And a mystery that could leave them all dead.

Benjamin has been a slave his whole life, whipped for every mistake and misstep. Desperate to escape, he risks stowing away aboard a smuggler’s ship in the hope of finding freedom.

Discovered and dragged onto deck in the fury of a storm, Benjamin fears for his newfound freedom. Instead, he witnesses a woman summon lightning, tearing the very fabric of the world open.

Benjamin suddenly finds himself on an unfamiliar world, in the company of people with inexplicable powers.

Before the Captain can decide the fate of the unwelcome stowaway, disturbing rumours reach her from an isolated town deep in the forest. The Captain takes her crew to investigate, offering Benjamin a chance to prove his worth to them.

As danger closes in, Benjamin must fight to survive, carving out a place for himself amongst these extraordinary people.
