Lightning Strikes - Paperback

There is magic in the modern world. It surrounds you, hiding in plain sight. The commuter next to you may be Talent. The barista behind the counter may not be human. The sound you hear just outside your window? May be far more dangerous than you think.

Stay inside and admire the storm. But be wary. Because for the Cosa Nostradamus, human and non-human alike, that storm is magic, and magic is power...

And power can corrupt.

"Laura Anne Gilman has built her career on precision storytelling, finely honed and performing perfectly. This is a luxury car of a collection, fast, sleek, and responsive....There is something intensely human about this collection, gathering pieces that are all but guaranteed to contain some new favorites." - Seanan McGuire
