When 19-year-old Oya begins her first year of college, strange incidents follow her—weather bending to her emotions, danger closing in from unseen forces. Unbeknownst to her, she has been monitored and chemically suppressed her entire life to prevent her divine lineage from awakening. As her powers break through, she becomes the target of a secret government division and a ruthless extremist society waging a holy war against reincarnated Orisha. Forced to flee with her fiercely loyal best friend Jasmine and a mysterious young man with powers of his own, Oya must uncover the truth about her origin, her birth mother, and the ancient bloodline she carries. As modern technology clashes with mythic destiny, Oya must decide whether she will remain hidden—or rise into the storm she was born to command.
