Lina’s Fury by Victoria Rau and Michael Dolce begins where eighteen-year-old foster kid Lina Hallow is about to age out of the system. Still clinging to the memory of her late mother and the heirloom watch she left behind, Lina dreams of a normal life and a chance at community college. But her world shatters at a graduation party when her ex-boyfriend Myles assaults her. Though she survives and presses charges, the justice system fails her―Myles walks with little more than probation while Lina is cast aside by her foster family and left to fend for herself in a halfway house.
Haunted, angry, and alone, Lina begins having vivid dreams filled with fire, wings, and ancient voices. When she crosses paths with a wealthy collector and secretly discovers a book tied to Greek mythology, she finds herself drawn into something far older and darker than she imagined. The tome whispers of the Erinyes – the Furies of vengeance. As Lina stalks Myles at his college, her rage fuses with the book’s power, triggering storms, lightning, and finally the arrival of the Furies themselves.
What begins as one girl’s fight for justice ignites into a supernatural reckoning.
