Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger (YA fiction)

The Sky Fall Series starts with Vane Weston, a 17-year-old who lost his parents in a freak storm when he was younger. He survived, but with almost no memories of the event or anything before it. The one memory he still has is of a girl, Audra, who seemed to be part of the wind. Then one day he meets her and she tells him he isn’t human; he is a sylph - a wind spirit - and that he is the last of the western wind sylphs. Audra then trains him to use the wind abilities that come with his heritage. She trains him to stay alive when people seeking Vane come. As they train, a forbidden love rises between them, one that Audra tries very hard to ignore. This book series was amazing, I loved the twists and turns, and each encounter with the villain was written astonishingly well. It had detail and was written so that you could lose yourself in the story. The series only has three books, but all three are packed full of adventure and fun. Sky fall is a fantasy aimed at teens. The order of the books is Let the Sky Fall, Let the Storm Break, and Let the Wind Rise. This series is seriously amazing and I very much recommend it if you are into fantasy.
