WOW #26

 


I'm waiting on

Let the Sky Fall

Let The Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger
Expected Release Date March 2013


Seventeen-year-old Vane Weston is the only survivor of the category five tornado that killed his parents. Every night since the storm, a beautiful, dark-haired girl has swept through his dreams. She's the only clue to his past, and he clings to the hope that she's real.

Audra is real, but she's also a sylph. An air elemental. She walks on the wind, can translate its alluring songs, and can even twist it into a weapon. She's also a guardian--Vane's guardian--and has sworn an oath to protect him at all costs. Even if it means sacrificing her own life.

When a hasty mistake reveals their location to the enemy who murdered both of their families, Audra must help Vane remember who he is. He has a power to claim--the secret language of the West Wind, which only he can understand. But unlocking his heritage will also unlock a memory Audra wishes could be erased. And as the storm bears down on them she starts to realize the greatest danger might not be the warriors coming to destroy them, but the forbidden romance that's grown between them.

Set amongst the desert airstreams of Coachella Valley in California, and alive with wonderful wind-swept prose, LET THE SKY FALL is about two teenagers broken by their pasts, divided by their futures, and bound by love.

Why I'm Waiting?

I admit I was first drawn to the cover. Then I liked the idea of a sylph. Also her name is Audra! That was almost my name if my mom had her way but my dad ended up naming me. I rarely see the name so I'm reading it because of that lol

  28. I literally just found out about this one today, so your WOW about it is sort of like a double whammy in convincing me! x) It just sounds so cool -- we dojn't get very many stories about syphs in YA fiction, and I think that we should! ;)
