Brimming with danger and magic, this new fantasy adventure from
acclaimed author MarcyKate Connolly will leave readers breathless as
Aria discovers the strength of her courage--and the power of
friendship.
Aria is raised by the Wind. She grew up in a castle, floating among the
clouds with creatures of the air. She spends her days racing and soaring
through the sky with her best friend, Gwyn, a young gryphling. At night,
she falls asleep to the music of the Wind.
One morning, Aria is woken by a frantic Gwyn. The chimes are silent,
there is not a breath of breeze, and their castle has settled on the
ground. The Wind has vanished.
Aria and Gwyn go on a desperate search only to discover the Wind is
being held captive by a sinister alchemist named Worton. To free the
Wind, Aria and Gwyn must complete a series of trials to find and
retrieve three magical talismans for Worton.
Nothing will keep Aria from rescuing the element who raised her--not a
riddle, not a quest, not a race against time. Except Worton can't be
trusted, and it's not just the Wind that needs saving...
