THORN AND THUNDER: THORN AND THUNDER, cartea 1

The storm was never gone. It was hidden.

Vaelen Kane has spent years surviving the tragedy that tore his family apart. In New York City, he keeps his life practical, quiet, and contained: work, broken gadgets, old grief, and the sister he would do anything to protect.

But when strange lights tear across the Manhattan sky, something buried inside him begins to wake.

Power he cannot explain surges through his body. Shadows move where they should not. Forgotten words return to his tongue. And the death of his parents-the accident he has spent years trying to outrun-begins to look like something far more deliberate.

As Central Park, Times Square, and the hidden edges of Manhattan become gateways to a larger war, Vaelen is pulled into a world of ancient gods, shadow monsters, forgotten bloodlines, and a darkness waiting beyond the Veil. His sister Sarah may be the only person who can keep him grounded, but the forces hunting Vaelen have already noticed her too.

To survive, Vaelen must uncover what his parents were protecting, what they left inside him, and why the storm has chosen him now.

Blending urban fantasy, dark fantasy, contemporary fantasy, cosmic stakes, family secrets, grief, supernatural powers, and a powerful sibling bond, Thorn And Thunder is the first book in The Aetheris Saga.
