A Whisper of Wind

Kinara Kitari and her fianc Alator both serve in the Guardian Forces

of Alympia, each with different talents and levels of experience. When the

unrelenting enemy Javalar 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 his

own 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.
