In this lyrical and epic contemporary novel with magical fantasy elements, a girl must learn to master her powers over the wind before a sinister secret organization finds her. Perfect for fans of Legendborn, A Song Below Water, and Vespertine.
After Veronique's parents died, her grandmother raised her on a farm in rural Louisiana. For sixteen years, it's just been Veronique, MawMaw, and an ocean of trees. That's because Veronique has a secret--one MawMaw has warned her she must always keep safe.
Veronique has the power to control the wind.
But when MawMaw falls ill, Veronique is forced to move to New Orleans to live with family she never knew she had. New Orleans is a far cry from her old quiet life, but Veronique finally gets her chance for a normal life--one with school, friends, and even love. But when her new life threatens her ability to control her powers, she quickly learns that the world is bigger and more dangerous than she'd ever imagined. Veronique must uncover what MawMaw was trying to protect her from before it's too late.
- Elemental Magic: Veronique can command the wind, a dangerous gift tied to her family's legacy and a power she can barely control.
- Found Family: Whisked away from her isolated life, she must navigate a new family in New Orleans, including a cousin her age who pulls her into a world she's never known.
- Hidden Identity: Raised to conceal her abilities, Veronique's search for a normal life is threatened by a mysterious organization that knows her secret and will stop at nothing to find her.
- A Powerful Coming of Age Story: Follow a girl discovering her legacy, her strength, and her place in a world far more magical and dangerous than she ever imagined.
