Battle in the Storm
In grief, she found vengeance. In vengeance, she may lose herself. Dr. Lydia Allard wanted to heal. War taught her how to hunt. Eleven years after the Fae opened portals into Earth, sparking war and misery across human cities and wildlands. Lydia-once a leading physician studying the lethal residue of Fae magic-has already paid the war's highest price: her parents and her young daughter. When her brother's experimental portal briefly succeeds and is then destroyed to keep it from the wrong hands, the only path into the Fae realm is through the enemy's own magics. With a rogue team-including a half-Fae ally-Lydia plans a perilous infiltration: pass as Fae within a human-realm based war camp to be carried through the gates into the heart of their realm to find the one who took her very soul. But the deeper they go, the more the war's narrative unravels. The magic that mummifies the dead whispers of design, not chaos. Allegiances blur. And a hidden architect seems intent on feeding two worlds into the same fire. Driven by a mother's grief and a scientist's precision, Lydia must navigate knives, lies, and a power awakening in her own bloodline-before the true enemy turns both realms into kindling.
