Who is she? Why is she the only thing he remembers?Īudra is an air elemental or sylph. And then he sees the girl, in the flesh and begins to wonder what the heck is going on. The only exception is that he dreams of a girl who ages with him – a girl who was there when the tornado struck.

(Mar.Vane Weston was the sole survivor of a vicious tornado that killed his parents about a decade ago. Agent: Laura Rennert, Andrea Brown Literary Agency. The novel works best when Messenger’s characters are left to explore her vividly imagined world of wind, rather than just talk about it. As Messenger (Keeper of the Lost Cities) alternates between Vane and Audra’s perspectives, the story bogs down in detailed explanations about the sylph world, Vane’s training proceeds with excruciating slowness, and the romance between Vane and Audra is lackluster and predictable. Readers learn the secrets of the sylphs, as Vane and Audra experiment with Vane’s emerging abilities and she struggles with her role as his guardian. Audra reveals that Vane is also a sylph, a mystical creature who can control the wind, and that he’s being hunted by Raiden, a ruthless and powerful sylph.
Enter Audra, the gorgeous and disciplined “sylph” who saved his life and has been haunting his dreams. While he loves his adopted parents, who live in California’s scorching Coachella Valley, he can’t shake the feeling that something about that accident doesn’t add up. Seventeen-year-old Vane Weston lost his parents in a freak tornado when he was seven.
