Storm Coming

A Storm Coming is a sweeping historical novel set in 1710 North Carolina, where a young Tuscarora woman must choose between love and loyalty as colonial forces threaten her people's survival.

A forbidden love, a fractured nation, and an indigenous heroine standing at the crossroads of history.

In 1710 North Carolina, eighteen-year-old Jane of the Tuscarora Nation faces an uncertain future as her people's world begins to unravel. For generations, the Tuscarora have thrived in the lush coastal plains, their lives bound to the rivers, forests, and ancient traditions that sustain them. But English settlers push deeper into their lands, bringing broken promises, stolen territory, and the threat of war.

When Core Tom, a powerful Tuscarora warrior, arrives calling for resistance, Jane's carefully balanced life is upended. Drawn to his strength and vision, she feels the pull of a forbidden desire that could cost her everything--her standing, her safety, even her people's trust. Torn between her duty to family and nation, and the dangerous possibility of love, Jane must decide where her loyalties truly lie.

Through Jane's eyes, A Storm Coming reveals the Tuscarora people's struggle to preserve their culture and sovereignty in the face of colonial expansion. Woven with the rhythms of everyday life--harvest feasts, sacred stories, and the bonds of kinship--this novel immerses readers in a world rarely explored in historical fiction. As alliances fracture and the storm of war gathers, Jane learns that survival demands more than weapons--it demands courage, sacrifice, and the strength to choose one's own path.

Step into Jane's world, witness the fight for her people's survival, and experience a story that will stay with you long after the last page.
