Solicit Synopsis
Before she was the super hero Storm of Marvel’s X-Men, she was Ororo of Cairo—a teenaged thief on the streets of Egypt, until her growing powers catch the eye of a villain who steals people’s souls. An epic origin story that will blow you away, from the New York Times bestselling author of Monday’s Not Coming.
Few can weather the storm.
As a thief on the streets of Cairo, Ororo Munroe is an expert at blending in—keeping her blue eyes low and her white hair beneath a scarf. Stealth is her specialty . . . especially since strange things happen when she loses control.
Lately, Ororo has been losing control more often, setting off sudden rainstorms and mysterious winds . . . and attracting dangerous attention. When she is forced to run from the Shadow King, a villain who steals people’s souls, she has nowhere to turn to but herself. There is something inside her, calling her across Africa, and the hidden truth of her heritage is close enough to taste.
But as Ororo nears the secrets of her past, her powers grow stronger and the Shadow King veers closer and closer. Can she outrun the shadows that chase her? Or can she step into the spotlight and embrace the coming storm?
In her first speculative novel, New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson casts a breathtaking spell with one of Marvel’s most beloved characters, and brings the superhero Storm to life as you’ve never seen her before.

Notes
- Novel is not set in Earth-616 as it clearly contradicts Ororo Munroe (Earth-616)'s history. For example, in the novel Ororo mentions that she misses American school and food, however, in Earth-616 she and her family moved from the USA to Egypt when Ororo was just 6 months old, so she couldn't have attended American school.
Trivia
- In the first chapter Ororo was called "Ororo Iqadi Munroe" by her mother, "Iqadi" apparently being her middle name in this reality. In Earth-616 "Ororo Iqadi T'Challa" was her married name during marriage to King T'Challa.
