About the Author Sarah Beth Durst is the author of fantasy novels for children, teens, and adults.
Mina\'s never been the type to speak out, but someone has to tell the truth, and, with Pixit\'s help, she resolves to find a way to be heard.
Quickly enrolled in lightning school, Mina struggles to master a guardian\'s skills, and she discovers that her country\'s weather comes at a devastating cost--a cost powerful people wish to hide.
Everyone but Mina and the beast himself, Pixit.
But when the gentle girl bonds with a lightning beast--a creature of fire and chaos--everyone\'s certain it\'s a mistake.
Storm beasts and their guardians create perfect weather every day, and Mina longs for a storm beast of her own.
