SONS OF THE STORM
by FRANCESCA NOTO
Description
Sons of Storm is an urban fantasy novel, based on Norse mythology, about the difficult transition from adolescence to adulthood and the ties of a deep friendship, developing into something more, between two very different boys. Nathaniel is a shy college student raised between New York and Florida, with a prophecy to fulfill and an unusual and loving family around him which he fears disappointing; Winter is a loner, raised in foster homes, mad at the world, as a street-smart kid can be.
When they meet under the most unlikely circumstances and get stuck in a wild and ancient past, they will need all their powers, and the special bond developing between them, to survive and find a way back home. Forced into fierce battles, and caught between hard decisions and devastating revelations, they will share a common fate and fight a war greater than themselves, to finally find out what it means to be Sons of Storm.

Being seventeen is complicated, if you are born in the shadow of a prophecy and your family expects you to reveal extraordinary abilities. This is what Nathaniel Gordon thinks, when he looks in the mirror at his strange, mismatched eyes, which remind him every day of an uncomfortable legacy: he is a descendant of the Norsemen, born to put an end to a threat from another plane of existence, Nate’s more and more convinced that someone has been wrong about him. But when Winter, a violent and mysterious albino boy, breaks into his life and turns it upside down, there is no more time for doubt. Amidst hasty escapes, deadly clashes and tearing decisions, Nathaniel will have to fight a war greater than himself and survive in a world that is not his own. Who is the unstoppable giant with the heart of ice ready to do anything to flood our earthly dimension with blood, and what is the truth about Winter?
