Marked by Lightning

Becca Harraway and Neal Donahue are, first and foremost, soldiers. They have grown up preparing to fight in the decades-old Edscaftian-Lossian War, and now that they are sixteen, they are ready. At least, Becca thinks they are. She is itching for their regiment to be shipped off to the front, while Neal is just determined to do whatever it takes to keep his family and friends safe. Both are hoping to make a real difference in the war. But when Becca is struck by an unearthly flash of lightning and ends up with baffling new abilities, their plans get thrown off course. As the changes Becca is experiencing threaten to tear apart her friendship with Neal, they are finally called to join the effort against Sarlic Lossi and his tyrannical regime. Now they face a formidable new assignment, exhilarating powers that are ever harder to check, and a dangerous mission into hostile territory. Training is over. Can they handle what is to come? Will battle be everything they dreamt of? Or will they crumble under the pressure?
