CAGED LIGHTNING: The Storm Within

Lorna Greene has spent six years running from the lightning inside her. Every town ends the same way: dead streetlights, scorched earth, a cash withdrawal she can't afford to feel guilty about, and another hand-drawn X on the map before anyone connects the storm to the girl. She has rules. Never stay. Never get close. Never release the power near people. Then one desperate discharge in the desert brings down something from orbit. The crash reveals a hidden war, an alien force searching for people like Lorna, and Project Hurricane — a secret agency built to find, train, and contain the impossible. For the first time, Lorna is offered what she has never had: answers, control, and a place where her power might be more than a curse. But when another awakened signal leads the team to a small town in Wyoming, Lorna discovers the aliens are not merely hunting her. They are mapping every enhanced human on Earth. Now the girl who spent her life hiding must decide whether to keep running from the storm — or become the signal that helps others find their way out. Caged Lightning: The Storm Within is a fast-paced science fiction adventure about found family, alien contact, hidden powers, and one woman learning that survival is not the same as freedom.
