    Written by Cecil Castellucci, Ashley Johnson, and Matthew Mercer. Art and cover by Will Kirkby.

    For Yasha, there has always been a storm on the horizon. Maybe it formed with her adoption by the Dolorov people in the harsh lands of Xhorhas. Or perhaps when she fell for her first love, Zuala. Or still later, when grief and madness drove her from her village and out into--somewhere else. Maybe, on the other hand, Yasha IS the storm.
