    Vhalla Yarl is content as an apprentice in the imperial library — tucked safely away with her books, far from the feared Tower of Sorcerers. She wants nothing to do with sorcery, power, or war.

    Until the Crown Prince returns from the warfront on the verge of death.

    Desperate, Vhalla saves him with air magic, a power the world believed had vanished generations ago. Gone for so long that most people think it was never real. And in saving him, she accidentally forges a Bond: a piece of her magic rooted inside him, unbreakable and irreplaceable. He can never bring her mortal harm. He can never be free of her.

    Now the sorcerers want to train her. The Senate wants to control her. And Aldrik has made her his obsession. Brooding, brilliant, and hated by his own court, he leaves anonymous notes in her books and pulls her into a rose garden no one else is permitted to enter, where he trains her in secret.

    But a crown prince, even a hated one, cannot be seen with a library girl. And in an Empire at war, a girl who can command the wind will never be allowed to stay a librarian.

    Her power or her love. Her duty or her heart. The life she thought she wanted... or the one she was destined for.

    Air Awakens is a slow-burn, *mostly* closed-door forbidden romance in an elemental epic fantasy world, featuring an unbreakable magic bond, a bookish underdog heroine, a brooding morally grey prince, a royal ball and a secret identity, court politics, and a found family of sorcerers. Suitable for older teen and adult readers.

    Book 1 of a completed five-book series. All five books are available now. No waiting. No unresolved endings.

    Perfect for readers of Powerless, Throne of Glass, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
