…The winds bring stories, just as they bring storms. As things grow colder, we await the final alliance. Wherever they are, whoever it is, we plan on bringing them together. Resist the oppressors and fight for our rights. That’s what we’ve been doing for hundreds of years, and that’s what we’ll die doing.

No one wants to get struck by lightning, of course. But what if getting struck by lightning could grant you unique powers? What would you choose to do with those powers?

Struck: Born from the Storm tells the story of a special kind of lightning storm, one that strikes only occasionally-and strikes only Black men and women. Some of those struck turn their newfound abilities to the service of Black people and humanity as a whole. Others use their powers for evil. Either way, their stories all influence the world...

Written by a sci-fi/fantasy fan for other superfans, Struck illuminates the complexity of being Black across time and space while entertaining with stories of courageous superheroes, terrifying villains, and everyone in between.
