ABOUT THE BOOK
"[Wind Daughter] weaves a powerful, beautiful spell in a storyline threaded with fairy-tale magic and heartwarming romance. A rich, romantic tale of identity, agency, and love." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“This companion to Echo North [is] filled with fantasy and adventure, weaving together a powerful tale of the magic of the Winds, of the depth of love and family, and of the power that can be found inside you even if you are afraid to let it out. Breathtaking and beautiful." --Booklist, starred review
A hauntingly beautiful fairy tale about love and loss, this Echo North companion novel is perfect for fans of the Winternight Trilogy.
In the dark, cold reaches of the north lives a storyteller and his daughter. He told his daughter, Satu, many stories--romances like the girl who loved a star and changed herself into a nightingale so she could always see him shining--but the most important story he told her was his own. This storyteller was once the formidable North Wind, but he lost his power by trading it away in exchange for mortality--he loved her mother too much to live without her. The loss of his magic impacted more than just their family, however, and now the world is unraveling in the wake of this imbalance.
To save the North, Satu embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim her father's magic, but she isn't the only one searching for it. In the snow-laden mountains, she finds herself in a deadly race with the Winter Lord who wants the North Wind's destructive powers for himself.
Satu has the chance to be the heroine of her own fairy tale, only this one has an ending she never could have imagined.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Joanna Ruth Meyer is the author of the critically-acclaimed Echo North, as well as the companion novel duology Beneath the Haunting Sea and Beyond the Shadowed Earth, and the fairy tale-inspired Into the Heartless Wood. She writes stories about fierce teens finding their place in the world, fighting to change their fate, save the ones they love, or carve out a path to redemption.
Joanna lives with her dear husband and son, a rascally feline, and an enormous grand piano named Prince Imrahil in Mesa, Arizona. As often as she can, she escapes the desert heat and heads north to the mountains, where the woods are always waiting.
ABOUT THE MODERATOR
Hanna C. Howard spent most of her childhood wondering how she might avoid growing up, and eventually solved the conundrum by becoming an artist and a writer. She considers tea an essential food group, has more books than shelf space, and spends as much time as she can in her rambling cottage garden. She lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with her husband and small son, their Disreputable Dog, and a cat skilled in the martial arts. Hanna is the author of Ignite the Sun.
