A gripping, visceral, and emotionally charged tale of courage and transformation…
Lamothe delivers a fresh and exhilarating take on the classic hero’s journey in The Lightning Child series. In the mystical realm of Orkerion, troll princess Lunaria Druutha, the daughter of a god-king and a troll queen, embarks on a bold quest to prove her worth. Amidst a brutal civil war fraught with rebellion and betrayal, Lunaria must navigate shifting alliances and her own evolving identity to save House Druutha—or see it fall into obscurity.

Lamothe seamlessly combines action and introspection, maintaining a relentless pace throughout. The vibrant writing immerses readers in a fully realized world without losing focus on the gripping plot.

Additionally, diverse races and cultures offer a nuanced view of unity and conflict. A compelling blend of tradition and innovation, this is a must-read for fans of character-driven fantasy.
