The Stick — David Ward

In the fog-shrouded town of Duskmoor, where a sinister corporation poisons the land and shadows of global tyranny loom, ordinary high schooler Autumn Knyte stumbles upon an enigmatic stick that pulses with otherworldly energy. As inexplicable miracles begin to reshape her broken life-mending wounds, awakening hidden strengths, and drawing the wild forces of nature to her side-Autumn uncovers a terrifying truth: she's been chosen as the guardian of a power that could heal the world or shatter it forever. But with ruthless enemies closing in, hungry to claim the artifact for their own apocalyptic designs, Autumn must navigate betrayal, forbidden knowledge, and the fury of an awakening Earth, or risk unleashing a storm that consumes everything she holds dear.
