Some griefs are too big for the body that holds them. In the Reach, strong feeling spills out as real weather, and the immortal Storm-Court collects anyone whose sky grows too loud. Senna Vaille has spent her whole life keeping the stillest sky in the lowlands, folding a stormsinger's power down small enough to swallow, because the day she lets it out, the court will come for her. Then her mother begins to die, and Senna must do the one impossible thing: grieve without making a storm. A standalone prequel to A Storm of Her Own Making, Book One of the Tempest Throne — the story of the girl before the storm, and the quiet, brave village that kept her secret. Free, and found nowhere else.
