Windswept Warren — Michael Blackthorne

In The Littlest Stormrider (Book One) of the Stormrider series, eight-year-old Davibo Nayuda survived his sister's attempt to kill him by becoming the Littlest Stormrider. He discovered that he could learn Mage-craft when most modern Stormriders couldn't, and that allowed him to activate the powerful keystone at Windswept Warren so that not only was he protected but so was his Magnetic Elemental, Spikefist. But now, in Book Two, Windswept Warren, the eight-year-old Storm-Master of Windswept must find a way to restore the ancient warren and build up the Elemental Corps before the rebel Stormriders or the Lightning Guild decide to strike again. But with only Shivram, the oldest Mage alive and the only other person besides Davibo who is both a Stormrider and a Mage, Davibo's options are pretty slim. He had no money, no water and no recruits. That is, until a clan of nomads seeks shelter from a sandstorm and our eight-year-old hero decides to take matters into his young, inexperienced hands.

Windswept Warren (Book Two) of the Stormrider series by Michael Blackthorne introduces many of the problems that our littlest Stormrider must solve over the next several installments, if the Elemental Corps is even to survive. But will Davibo save the Elemental Corps or make it into something none of them will even want to be part of? Whatever the eventual outcome, Windswept Warren sets the stage for events that will rock the Stormriders through the choices that Davibo makes. Davibo may be the littlest Stormrider, but hopefully, his heart is big enough for the challenge when even his trusted Master Mage Shivram turns on him.
