Publisher Description
Some secrets protect you. Some get you killed.
Emelynn Taylor guards a dangerous one: she can shed gravity. But the gift a mysterious stranger gave her in childhood is wild, unpredictable, and slowly destroying her life. Alone at her family's oceanfront cottage on Canada's west coast, she vows to bring it to heel—until a devastating fall from the sky exposes her to the last people who should ever find her.
Kidnapped from her own beach, Emelynn is pulled into the hidden world of Fliers: coveys, powerful tribunals, and the rare few who can ghost—dissolving into invisible molecules to watch, to listen, to follow.
Her captor-turned-mentor, the darkly compelling Jackson Delaney, insists he only wants to keep her safe. But someone she cannot see is watching the cottage, a woman is missing, and the deeper Emelynn falls—for the sky, and for Jackson—the deadlier the secrets become.
"Fans of A Discovery of Witches, Ninth House, and Karen Marie Moning's Fever series will devour Secret Sky."

This is the first book in the Legacy of the Gift series and serves to introduce her paranormal ability, the characters and what is happening in their secret society. Be prepared to read more books as you will get hooked into this series with the excellent writing, personable characters and creativity of the author. The characters are well crafted making the flawed, vulnerable, strong-willed and personable. Emelynn’s characters is extremely likeable and you can identify with her plight to figure out how to handle her gift. Right from the beginning there it is an emotional rollercoaster as she remembers her past and tries to move forward. The narrative is amazing. The action scenes are extremely well done and easy to follow. The storyline is filled with suspense, betrayal and surprises. It is a wonderful start to a creative series.
