The Storm Runner is a novel written by J. C. Cervantes and published in September 2018. It is the second of many "Rick Riordan Presents" imprints and is about thirteen-year-old Zane Obispo who uses a cane to get around due to a debilitating limp. The jacket art was designed by Maria Elias[1] and drawn by Irving Rodriguez.[1]

Synopsis[edit]

Zane Obispo's favorite activity to partake in when he's not at school is exploring the sleeping volcano in his own backyard. One day, while discovering new cracks and creases in the mountain, a small airplane crashes into it, disturbing Zane and his three-legged dog Rosie. Soon after the accident, a mysterious girl named Brooks appears at Zane's doorstep, demanding that she and Zane meet up at the volcano. Zane agrees, trying to impress Brooks, and she explains to him that "myths are real" and the volcano is actually a centuries-old prison for the Mayan god of death, whose destiny is linked to Zane's. Zane's neighbor Ms. Cab, who is a psychic, explains to Zane that his father, who was left when Zane was an infant, is Hurakan,[2] a Mayan deity.

In the second installment of the series, Zane is put on a remote island but Ixtab with his mother, Brooks, and close friends. But he wishes to escape when he realizes he must save his father, after another godborn, a girl named Ren washes up on the island in a small boat.
