Synopsis
Dark magic. Forbidden romance. And an insane twist you’ll never see coming. Jade Harrington had her future all mapped out: Yale Law, a prestigious career, the perfect life her parents demanded. But when her plane goes down and she wakes up with silver electricity sparking across her skin, she learns everything she believed was a lie. Welcome to Blaze Academy—a hidden school for witches where magic is tied to fire and emotion. Where one wrong spark could expose Jade as an anomaly the mysterious Witch Council would kill to control. The only person who can help her survive? Logan Ashford. Fourth-year proctor. Devastatingly beautiful, impossibly powerful, and hiding secrets darker than the black flames that burn at his fingertips. He saved Jade's life during the academy's initiation trial. He knows what she is. And he's willing to become the monster everyone fears to keep her safe—even if it means teaching her to control the storm inside her and breaking every rule he's sworn to uphold. But when a student is murdered and an ancient goddess chooses Jade as her champion, survival becomes more than just hiding forbidden magic. Because Jade has to navigate deadly challenges, uncover conspiracies that run deeper than she imagined, and decide whether the man who holds her heart is her greatest protector... or her ultimate betrayer. Silver Storm is the explosive first book in USA Today bestselling author Michelle Madow's highly anticipated Witch Blade series.
