She's the Keeper of the Galaxies, and he's out to kill her... When Atrus Makita- a man who has been murdering people since he was a teen and has forever eluded police- attacks, intending to steal Emma Fitch's Magic (resultantly rendering her dead), she resolves to fight. Enter Zach Stone, a man who seems to be just an ordinary classmate of hers-- that is, until he pulls her out of the way of a curse and an electrifying current races through them. This current sends their hearts and their Magic racing, but the reason behind it is near as big a secret as being the Keeper. Emma and Zach are the Kahi-- the King and Queen of the Galaxies. Chosen at a young age but oblivious until now, they are swept up in the Magic and end up being caught in a whirlwind romance. Atrus, however, doesn't give up so easily: He declares war on both of them. He always gets what he's after, and he won't stop until he does. Follow Emma and Zach as they fight for their love, their lives, and the Galaxies in the first book of The Lightning Strike Trilogy.
