Aurora Pavan comes from one of the oldest Stormling families in existence.

But the more secrets Aurora uncovers about him, the more a future with him frightens her. When she dons a disguise and sneaks out of the palace one night to spy on him, she stumbles upon a black market dealing in the very thing she lacks—storm magic. And the people selling it? They’re not Stormlings. They’re storm hunters.

She might not have magic now, but she can steal it if she’s brave enough.
