Before she was the super hero Storm of Marvel's X-Men, she was Ororo of Cairo—a teenaged thief on the streets of Egypt, until her growing powers catch the eye of a villain who steals people's souls. An epic origin story that will blow you away, from the New York Times bestselling author of Monday's Not Coming.
"Tiffany D. Jackson has crafted the story of Storm that the world has been waiting for!" —Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Few can weather the storm.
As a thief on the streets of Cairo, Ororo Munroe is an expert at blending in—keeping her blue eyes low and her white hair beneath a scarf. Stealth is her specialty . . . especially since strange things happen when she loses control.
Lately, Ororo has been losing control more often, setting off sudden rainstorms and mysterious winds . . . and attracting dangerous attention. When she is forced to run from the Shadow King, a villain who steals people's souls, she has nowhere to turn to but herself. There is something inside her, calling her across Africa, and the hidden truth of her heritage is close enough to taste.
But as Ororo nears the secrets of her past, her powers grow stronger and the Shadow King veers closer and closer. Can she outrun the shadows that chase her? Or can she step into the spotlight and embrace the coming storm?
In her first speculative novel, New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson casts a breathtaking spell with one of Marvel's most beloved characters, and brings the superhero Storm to life as you've never seen her before.

      Joniece Abbott-Pratt narrates this gripping origin story of Ororo before she became Storm of the X-Men. Orphaned in Cairo, Ororo has had years to hone her skills as a thief, hiding her conspicuous white hair beneath a scarf. Desperate for answers about her heritage, she joins young T'Challa of Wakanda on a journey across Africa. But staying anonymous becomes harder as her emerging powers set off storms and winds that she can't control, attracting the notice of the soul-stealing Shadow King. Abbott-Pratt seamlessly switches between Ororo's American accent and the African accents of the many other characters, skillfully differentiating their voices. Her gentle depiction of Ororo and T'Challa's budding romance will have listeners swooning. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
