My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Amazing and Incredible Read! Jon had done it again! I couldn't put the book down! I think it may be even better then the last one, He sure has our done himself for sure! there was even more action and drama, more power and intrigue and most of all more adventure!
THE EARTH GIVES WAY TO THE SEA,
THE SEA BOWS BEFORE THE WIND,
THE WIND FEEDS THE FLAME,
THE FLAME BURNS THE WORLD OF MAN DOWN TO THE EARTH.
Xander may have survived the first round with the fire Caste but what he lost far out weighs the rewards. With his parents now gone and his grandfather in a coma Xander literally has the worlds survival on his shoulders. His home town has been over taken by the fire Caste and Xander's only solace is that he has the other wind warriors and now Sammy by his side. Xander feels that it all maybe hopeless as the world crumbles under the onslaught of the Fire Warriors.
Sammy feels so bad for Xander and tries to be their for him as much as she can, but it is hard to be away from the people she has always known and only home she has ever had. She feels safe with Xander like she never has before, but she has been hiding a secret one that she knows may tear them apart.
When Sammy is Kidnapped and their home is compromised Xander has no choice but to put his feelings of revenge aside and do what is best for the earth and Sammy. Xander goes in search of the Wind Elemental the mythical creature that started the wind Caste, hoping she can help. But no one has ever seen her and the stories are just myths right? no one knows, and Xander's hoping for the worlds sake and for Sammy's that they find her.
I sooooo loved this book! Jon blew me away with the first book and then again with this one! I loved Sammy in the first book and I still loved her in this one but I thought she could have stood up for herself a little more with Patrick and Thea, she was so strong in the first book and she seemed so lost and out of her element in this book(which I guess she was...LOL) because when she was kidnapped she became the strong and defiant Sammy I loved again!
The Fire Caste as a whole are a pretty formidable enemy in as themselves but with General Abraxas
and the big bad "eye" behind the throne well they are just plain bad ass as far and villains go!
Jon Messenger is a brilliant author and I can't wait for the next book! if you haven't read these book you sooooo have to NOW!

THE SEA BOWS BEFORE THE WIND,
THE WIND FEEDS THE FLAME,
THE FLAME BURNS THE WORLD OF MAN DOWN TO THE EARTH.
White Halls is no longer a sleepy little town. Its houses lie smoldering on their foundations. The residents take refuge in their homes, afraid to leave. And the town’s prodigal son and newest Wind Warrior, Xander Sirocco, has fled.
Xander survived the first assault on his life by the Flame Caste, but it’s at a great personal cost. He and Sammy are left to bury his family and tend to his grandfather, who lies in a coma.
With the weight of the world on his shoulders, he can’t help but feel the fight against the Fire Caste is hopeless. It seems that way, that is, until he learns of a secret race of Elementals, embodiments of the elemental powers that the different castes wield. With the power of the Elementals comes a chance to save not just the Wind Warriors and Sammy, but the world itself.
Emboldened, he sets off to find the Wind Elemental and with it, the hope for his survival. Too bad no one has seen the Wind Elemental in generations and now thinks she’s just a myth. As he quickly learns, however, the Fire Elemental isn’t a myth. It’s real and it has a secret plan for his girlfriend.
And it won’t stop until Xander is dead.
