One night, Danny's storm-chasing parents don't come back. The storm that seems to have taken them has left him something - a charred fragment of wood from the old sycamore tree. The stick is a taro card, when he holds it, Danny can speak to nature. But an ancient figure of darkness will stop at nothing to silence him. Danny, alone and unaccustomed to acts of bravery, must confront his fears, find his parents, and unravel the secrets of The Books of Storms.
