Wind Warrior

World Aflame #0.5

by Jon Messenger

The sleepy town of White Halls harbors a dangerous secret. On a picturesque street, two houses down from a lovely little park, in a quaint little home with a wraparound porch, lives a family that seems rather normal. Sure, their twenty year old son, Xander, still lives at home, but he's going to college and dating the leader of the schools top sorority. It's all very... normal. However, when a man is miraculously saved from being hit by a bus, Xander's life turns in to the living embodiment of the tornadoes he can suddenly create with a flick of his wrist. Whether he wants this gift or not, Xander must learn to use his new 'super power' quickly if he wants to survive. For his kind is a dying race, and when this sleepy town has a sudden influx of new, blonde, fire wielders, no one is safe, especially Xander. It doesn't help that one of these blondes happens to be the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. Xander can't deny the instant connection he feels to her so, when she tries to kill him, it certainly makes things complicated.

This is actually the first third of the book Wind Warrior. It was a quick read and I liked it enough that I will read the full length book.

I have bought & read the full book & this story in the Wonderstruck anthology also.

This story came about from a picture which I think is amazing. The story was wonderful written and sucked you straight into the fabulous world Jon created. The drama of college and family mixed with people with elemental powers. And you absolutely should read the full novel because it rocks, and you can learn so much more about Xander and his world.

This story is awesome and you should read the full book and Wonderstruck :) Both were awesome :)

This reminded me of a urban version of the Avatar(a kids tv show). Which I loved btw! This was an intense action packed book that leaves you wanting to read the next book! The romance sorta hit fast but at the same time even the characters are a bit confused over it! Hopefully more will come clear in the next book! This was definitely a refreshing change from the dark and brooding I have been reading lately. I loved the fact that it was semi short but gave me action and a bit of romance and mystery! Can not wait for the next one!
