When Lightning Flashed — Jeanne Allen

When Lightning Flashed...a heroic tale of love, honor, and destiny across worlds.

Lightning flashes...and the knight Randwulf, wounded on a battlefield, awakens from an elaborate dream about coming to the aid of a woman in a strange, future world -- or did it somehow really happen? But he must tend to his wound and matters even more urgent. Princess Audrey, whom he's sworn to protect and secretly loves, has been kidnapped by a reviled, murderous race who plan to kill her to avenge ancient wrongs committed against them by her people. She's a Chosen One, selected by the Spirit of Light to lead her kingdom out of one thousand years of cold, harsh times, a reign of despair called the Cumbolgehnast. As Randwulf leads a rescue mission through treacherous terrain, shocking truths are mystically revealed about his own past and about the woman he loves: the princess is not who she seems. How will knowing these truths affect his actions? Will Audrey be rescued in time and the kingdom saved, or are they doomed to exist under the Cumbolgehnast for another millennium?
