Eighteen-year-old Aoife has never left the temple walls. Orphaned as a baby and raised by the devout priestesses of Aether, she's been taught that magic is a sin-a dangerous force humans were never meant to wield. Her life has been one of obedience and servitude... until forbidden power awakens inside her.
When a dark mage begins hunting her, Aoife is forced to flee the only home she's ever known and seek refuge on the Island of Whispers, one of the last strongholds of elemental magic. There, she discovers a world that embraces the very power she was taught to fear. As evil forces gather and corruption spreads, Aoife must decide who she truly is and what she believes in.
The Island of Whispers is the first book in a sweeping YA fantasy series about forbidden power, elemental magic, and the courage to question everything you were raised to believe.
