Summary – From Goodreads

Kinara Katari and her fianc� Alator both serve in the Guardian Forces of Alympia, each with different talents and levels of experience. When the unrelenting enemy Javelar attacks, they join their comrades in battle, but the results are devastating to both civilians and fighters. Suddenly, Kinara is no longer a bride planning her wedding but a warrior fighting for her place in the ranks.

At the same time, in a small rural town on the planet's poorest continent, the Khiings family is beginning to plan a celebration for their oldest son's return from college. Then Kinara, an old family friend, shows up on their doorstep and an unwise choice first puts her life in jeopardy, and not long after makes her the custodian of Zaelek, the second Khiings son, who is just beginning to find the source of hisown power.

As Zaelek struggles to discover just who and what he is, events no longer allow for a leisurely exploration of his progress but accelerate the process in ways he never could have imagined as he is swept along by forces beyond his control. Everyone has secrets here, and as life devolves into chaos, some are exposed while some remain hidden and everyone must do what they can to survive.
 


My Review

A Whisper of Wind is action packed and that is not an understatement.  I loved reading this amazing book and could not put it down.  I didn't realize when I started reading the first page just how much I would enjoy it.  I can't wait until the next book is released.

Kinara along with her fiance Alator both serve in the Guardian Forces unit for Alympia.  Not long after the book starts they are called out for an emergency mission.  Once they get separated Kiara seeks help from some friends of her family that she has known since she was a kid.  Zaelek is a small town country boy who has no idea who is family really is.  Once Kinara shows up at their house she turns all their world upside down.  When Kinara starts to piece things together, everything starts happening really fast.  They have no idea what will come next for them or for Zaelek's family. 

Ben and Parnikus have their own battles to win, literally.  They have to try to survive with Javelar only to face the unknown.  Will they find out what powers they have and face the unknown or will they die trying to survive? 

This book is action and suspense packed from the first page till the last page.  I was on the edge of my seat for the entire read.  There are so many twists and turns that I never knew what was going to happen next.  I liked all the characters but I really enjoyed Kinara and Zaelek's friendship.  Lycaon was great too.  I recommend this to anyone that enjoys a sci-fi/fantasy mixed book.  I am looking for to reading more books in the future for this amazing series!
