A Breath of Mischief

Brimming with danger and magic, this new fantasy adventure from acclaimed author MarcyKate Connolly will leave readers breathless as Aria discovers the strength of her courage-and the power of friendship. Aria is raised by the Wind. She grew up in a castle, floating among the clouds with creatures of the air.

She spends her days racing and soaring through the sky with her best friend, Gwyn, a young gryphling. At night, she falls asleep to the music of the Wind. One morning, Aria is woken by a frantic Gwyn.

The chimes are silent, there is not a breath of breeze, and their castle has settled on the ground. The Wind has vanished. Aria and Gwyn go on a desperate search only to discover the Wind is being held captive by a sinister alchemist named Worton.

To free the Wind, Aria and Gwyn must complete a series of trials to find and retrieve three magical talismans for Worton. Nothing will keep Aria from rescuing the element who raised her-not a riddle, not a quest, not a race against time. Except Worton can't be trusted, and it's not just the Wind that needs saving...
