❝what happened to us?❞
❝was that a rhetorical question, or what?❞
in which a meteorologist, adaline i. hernandez, discovers that she and her career have been twisted into something more than she expected.
~~~
adaline hernandez is a former storm chaser who left the field after a traumatic encounter with a tornado during her junior year at college. after she spent a few years shuffling between lives in puerto rico and new york city, she settled on living in a decent apartment in the city where she now works for the national weather service. as adaline sits behind a computer, she studies storm patterns remotely, far from the dangers of tornadoes, along with the anxiety and ptsd it gave her.
however, adaline's life takes a drastic turn when her old friend who she had a major fallout with, javi rivera, invites her back to the plains of oklahoma to test a groundbreaking, edge-cutting tornado tracking system. this puts adaline in a position where she is forced to be pulled back into the world she had once thought she had left behind. now that she is reunited with the thrills and dangers of storm chasing, she also has a deeper sense of caution and purpose.
adaline's return to the field puts her on a collision course with a reckless social media star named tyler owens, who thrives on the thrill of chasing storms. as the team faces increasingly dangerous storms, they must contend with phenomena that pushes past the limits of their expertise and survival insticts.
in this story, adaline hernandez must not only confront the destructive forces of nature, but also her own fears and memories from the past that hold her back.
Once, long ago, Zahra Howard liked to consider herself fearless. Whether it was a car going faster than humanly possible, illegally racing down the rural roads of Oklahoma, or even chasing its tornadoes. She never seemed to fear anything.
Until she did...
And after that, she promised she'd never go back. She promised she'd never get that close again.
Until, five years later, while she's busy sticking to that promise with determination, the past comes knocking on her door, asking for a favor. She could say no. It would be easy to say no.
But the thing about her was once she cared; it was hard to let go. Even if she tried. And somehow, that made saying no harder than the alternative.
Which is how she broke her own promise. How she ended up back here in Oklahoma, and right during an unprecedented tornado outbreak ravaging the place she'd once called home.
