In Holder of Lightning, book one of The Cloudmages, a seventeen-year-old farm girl named Jenna picks up a small but strangely alluring stone on Knobtop Hill - and, with that single act, her peaceful life is forever changed. First, the lights appear - the mage-lights which shone only in legends from the time Before. Then, with the lights, come the trouble and the magic, too...

For what Jenna holds in her hands is the Lamh Shabhala, the master stone of legend which could reawaken all of the stones. And the Holder of this stone is said to pay the greatest price for wielding such powerful magic. Now, Jenna fears for her home, her friends, and her family. Ancient legends are waking - and walking the earth.
