Broken Lightning — Jonathan V. Cann

In the last days of our world, the energies of man and nature mingle, giving birth to Linkers - people with the power to control the elements. Kurt Ciardi, an electrician and first among the chosen, is determined to use his command over lightning to stop the apocalypse. Eric Jaeder, a college student with the ability to reshape empty space, sees the coming destruction as an opportunity to start fresh. The fate of all that exists rests on who will trace the world's decay to its source, following clues left by ancient tribes to the shores of a lost island kingdom. But will the truth save humanity, or condemn it?
