This is how it started. I’m Vera Varrone. All I wanted to do was go out and celebrate the end of my sophomore year of high school. But a meteor strike changed everything, weakening the barriers between hidden worlds and introducing Boston to supernatural creatures that had once lived secretly amongst us. I used to be a simple girl trying to graduate high school and get on with my life. Now I’m trying to find my sister, who’s lost in a supernaturally awakened world full of vampires, witches, werewolves, fae, and… is that a dragon in the sky? I have to find my sister and get her home safely, but as the night ticks on, I’m running out of time. The world has just become a lot more dangerous… Before Vera’s journey starts in Spark of Lightning, read how it all began. Strike of Magic is the prequel to the Storm Warden Chronicles, set ten years earlier.
