The fiery-haired, tempestuous, Brynja Teare, lived anything but an average childhood. Her change in address was as unpredictable as the shift in weather, undergoing a life on the run in order to conceal her ability to govern thunder and lightning, wind and storms. Along with her father's recent desertion, she lost the answers to a long list of questions. For starters, why does she possess such powers? And from whom, if anyone, for all these years, have they been running? When a chance encounter places her across the path of highlander Galinn Gunn, she has the opportunity to discover the key...

Brynja knew that her life was no fairytale, but she hadn't expected Galinn's pride to come before their union. Worse yet, she discovers the truth about the hounds closest to her. Their betrayal sends her spiraling into a dark abyss of depression that set new standards, even for someone raised by the impassive Hallstaein Gunn. When she finds herself in the custody of the Teine King, things don't improve. There, she contends with the attentions of Daniel Macaulay and Turin's vengeful subjects. Will Turin take advantage of her desolation to steal her heart, or will he only exacerbate matters...

This reissue of Elson's best writing reintroduces her to the 21st century.
