Amelios world is divided by the Fault, a canyon separating him from Nimira, the storm-ravaged kingdom on the other side where magic is used freely. When Amelios storm chaser mother goes missing, he is forced across the Fault, joining a mission to locate the source of a leviathan storm. As magic stirs within him, Amelio must also contend with Paige, a wildcard with a thirst for chaos, and Vintane, a criminal with an agenda of his own.

The storm chase of a lifetime is underway and Amelio must unite warring provinces and confront his own destiny before the most powerful storm ever seen destroys them all . . .
