The official book page for Storm Unbound, the opening novel in The Lightning Ascendant series by Romier Owens.
Romlin was never meant to leave Greenglen.
His life was supposed to stay quiet, small, and safely beneath notice until the night everything broke. When a violent encounter tears open a power thought long gone, Lightning returns through him, and the world begins watching.
Storm Unbound follows a young man pulled into a realm shaped by elemental power, old prophecy, and political forces that know exactly how dangerous a living weapon can become. To some, Romlin is a threat. To others, he is a tool waiting to be claimed.
Hunted, studied, and pushed toward a destiny he never asked for, Romlin must learn the difference between surviving power and owning it. If he cannot decide who he is becoming, someone else will decide for him.
