When Lightning Strikes (2023) is the first book in a planned trilogy inspired by Chinese mythology. Caixia, a seventeen-year-old assassin known as the Prince’s Red Rabbit, serves Prince Yida while navigating a forbidden romance and a love triangle with young general Lei.
The book marks a departure from Feener’s adult dark romance catalog, returning to the YA fantasy genre where she started with the Xenith Trilogy. The Chinese mythological setting gives it a different foundation from her earlier YA works.
