Chasing Lightning

By DM Fike

The other nature wizards wield fire, earth, air, and water to protect the forest.

Only I bring the lightning.

My name’s Ina, and I command the elements like an honest-to-goddess nature wizard. I’ve defeated my fair share of creepy cryptids that go bump in the night, but now a monster with a Medusa gaze preys upon the Oregon coast. It’s going on a murder spree against the native fauna. It doesn’t help that game warden Vincent Garcia has noticed an uptick in endangered carcasses and blames me for poaching them.

I do have an ace up my sleeve with my unique lightning magic. The only problem: it’s like using a stick of dynamite to kill a house spider. I’m not supposed to use it, but the supernatural predator grows stronger every day. Either I banish this horror show soon, or there won’t be much forest left to protect.

Chasing Lightning is the first in the action-packed Magic of Nasci series that explores the magical dangers that lurk deep in the woods. It’s like Avatar: The Last Airbender and urban fantasy had a superhero love child.
