The Boy Who Drummed the Thunder
Chapter 4 · free to read
They climbed above the rain to find someone older than the drum. On the mountain, they said, lived a woman who had watched the storm-god fall.
Beat. Not a scream this time — a spoken word. For one perfect moment the storm did only what he told it to.
They came down the mountain faster than they'd climbed it, the shrine burning behind them. Someone else was hunting the pieces of the god — and they wore lightning as armor.
