Storm: Dawn of a Goddess
By Tiffany D. JacksonPublisher Description
Before she was the super hero Storm of Marvel's X-Men, she was Ororo of Cairo—a teenaged thief on the streets of Egypt, until her growing powers catch the eye of a villain who steals people's souls. An epic origin story that will blow you away, from the New York Times bestselling author of Monday's Not Coming.
Few can weather the storm.
As a thief on the streets of Cairo, Ororo Munroe is an expert at blending in—keeping her blue eyes low and her white hair beneath a scarf. Stealth is her specialty . . . especially since strange things happen when she loses control.
Lately, Ororo has been losing control more often, setting off sudden rainstorms and mysterious winds . . . and attracting dangerous attention. When she is forced to run from the Shadow King, a villain who steals people's souls, she has nowhere to turn to but herself. There is something inside her, calling her across Africa, and the hidden truth of her heritage is close enough to taste.
But as Ororo nears the secrets of her past, her powers grow stronger and the Shadow King veers closer and closer. Can she outrun the shadows that chase her? Or can she step into the spotlight and embrace the coming storm?
In her first speculative novel, New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson casts a breathtaking spell with one of Marvel's most beloved characters, and brings the superhero Storm to life as you've never seen her before.

“It took me a while to get into the story, but once T’Challa came on the scene …WHEW CHILE! I couldn’t put it down.”

“Combine a true Marvelite and one of the best YA writers around and you get the perfect choice to write the origin of a founding X-Man. Ororo Monroe has searched for her ancestors since the loss of her parents. This search leads the youngster to Nairobi, Egypt and Kenya. Picking pockets isn’t admirable, but necessary. She stays in the shadows, always hiding her trademark white hair from her “brothers”. But a voice calls her “home”.
She leaves due to an attack by the Shadow King, Amahl Farouk. He attacks Cairo, trying to get in Ororo’s head with his telepathy. Ororo runs through Africa, trying to get rid of her “curse”. She just wants to be normal. But beyond that, she wants her family back. And this is where Jackson excels. Her writing makes a young mutant just a young struggling female.
Ororo stifles her grief, her identity, and her other emotions. And then she meets the future king of Wakanda, T’Challa. I knew that they were married in Marvel lore, but to see their bludgeoning romance start was enjoyable. The climax was cinematic. The ending shows Storm as a strong capable leader. But jt takes Jackson to show the young girl behind the storm itself.”Likable charactersEasy to readComing of age

“Tiffany D Jackson, Storm, Black Panther, and an African journey?! Take my money! The X-Men are my favorite superhero’s in both movies and comics. I am not an avid reader/watcher, but when I am in the mood that is what I reach for. So I was excited to hear about this book. This book did not let me down. Storm, or Ororo, doesn’t know about her heritage and isn’t quite sure who she is. She has trauma to deal with before her powers manifest and the bad guy shows up. So she has to take a journey to get answers about her powers and keep everyone safe from the bad guy. Along the way, she has to deal with her past and start figuring out her future. I really loved seeing her develop from someone who is just getting by to someone who is empowered make decisions for her life. I love novels like this that give me a new way to look at these characters.”
