When Lightning Strikes — Oktavia Nurtjahja

Rampant lightning strikes targeting loggers on Borneo island mark the beginning of the battles of creatures in Borneo rainforest, a home shared by millions of physical and spiritual creatures.

The rippling effects of their actions lead Panggau warriors into battles against other creatures on the land and in the sky. As much as they love their peaceful life in the sky after they have forgone the land centuries ago, they, too, have to fight for their home and their survival. When Lightning Strikes is the first book of The Return of Panggau Warriors series - fantasy novels that depicts the world of Borneo rainforest according to Iban mythology.
