A broken past and a divided future can’t stop the electric connection of two teens in this epic series opener from the author of the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling Keeper of the Lost Cities series.Seventeen-year-old Vane Weston has no idea how he survived the category five tornado that killed his parents. And he has no idea if the beautiful, dark-haired girl who’s swept through his dreams every night since the storm is real. But he hopes she is. Seventeen-year-old Audra is a sylph, an air elemental. She walks on the wind, can translate its alluring songs, and can even coax it into a weapon with a simple string of commands. She’s also a guardian—Vane’s guardian—and has sworn an oath to protect Vane at all costs. Even if it means sacrificing her own life. When a hasty mistake reveals their location to the enemy who murdered both of their families, Audra’s forced to help Vane remember who he is. He has a power to claim—the secret language of the West Wind, which only he can understand. But unlocking his heritage will also unlock the memory Audra needs him to forget. And as the storm bears down on them, she starts to realize the greatest danger might not be the warriors coming to destroy them—but the forbidden romance that’s grown between them.

"If I could describe this book in one word, it would be "Basic." I did enjoy it because I could read it mindlessly. Kinda like one would read a good fanfiction except with a little less angst. It was pretty good for what it is. The plot was obvious and the characters were predictable, but it was still charming in its own way. I'm also a sucker for soulmate AUs but it stands in its own right to similar books I've read 3.8/5⭐"
"I purchased this book because I liked Messenger’s other series, Keeper of the Lost Cities. I did not like this book. I felt like it was yet another book about a girl with ‘the perfect body’ and a boy who lusted for it. The thoughts that he had about her felt objectifying and rude, and distracted from the plot of the book, which wasn’t even that good to begin with. By the end of the book, I absolutely hated Vane. I definitely don’t recommend this book. "
