My name is Larkspur, and I am an Elemental.
My people use the power of the earth to sustain life and defy our enemies. I should be at my father’s side as a royal princess. But as a half-breed, bastard child, that isn’t going to happen.
The King is missing and his mind is cracked. It is up to me to find him before the Rim is taken over by the bloodthirsty heir to the throne.
But the path to … throne.
But the path to finding the King is anything but straight, and I find myself in the human world facing possible banishment. All to find a Tracker who happens to be on the run from a demon, yet she is my only hope in bringing my father home.
Nothing is as it seems and I’m uncertain who is friend or foe. My impending punishment threatens to suffocate me as I defy our laws and fight to bring peace to my home. . . and fight to keep those I love the dearest alive.
How will I get both my father and I out of this one unscathed? Welcome to being The Chosen One.

Another fantastic instalment in the Elementals series. Great to see Lark developing as a character and overcoming the harsh trials the Mother Goddess puts her through. Lark is becoming strong and independent and it’s going to be interesting to see where the story goes! Cliff hanger at the end of this book – but I’m heading over to the timeline reading order 2 and the Rylee Adamson series! So I’ll have to wait to see what happens to Lark! Amazing series!
Wow. The range of emotions in this next installment of the Elementals Series is limitless. Be forwarned though; this series starts taking some DARK turns. Mayer has been very open by now with the knowledge that this is NOT going to end well. If you prefer cute & cuddly stories; choose another author. It is what it is. I really think this story is the most pivotal one yet, and you can really see how the whole world is coming together between Lark, Rylee, and Pamela. It just amazes me how intricate the plot and this world Mayer has created are. Everything appears to be so well thought out that it’s an amazing journey to be on. Even though this is a world of magic, it’s so easy to get lost in the story and feel everything the characters do.
Though the characters are well developed by now, they keep on diving deeper and develop in ways you didn’t think was possible. There are plenty of twists and turns along the way. The part regarding Rylee was nothing short of magical, and brought me to tears though I don’t cry often. When she says there was a stillness as if the whole world stopped to take note of the pivotal moment (paraphrasing), it gave me chills because it felt for a minute the real world also stopped. I think this is my favorite book so far in the series, and the series had already been great to begin with.

Windburn: The Elemental Series #4
Lark is tasked by her sister Bella, to find their Dad at all costs, even at the risk of banishment if that’s what it takes!! After consulting with Griffin & the Storyteller, she starts her journey with Cactus & Peta. Both him & Ash have declared their love & she loves them both too but can’t choose!!
They need to find a young Reader/seer. She’ll be able to point the way to a Tracker who can help them find the King! They travel to England then Greece on her trail, in Greece they pick up a new companion, he helps them travel the skies to find Elle. They’re then on to the home of the Sylphs. Their Queen is ancient, kind & wise. She gives them permission to search for the King but assures them he isn’t there. Then Blackbird shows up again & with help she nearly has him cornered. But he used his usual trickery & escapes with Peta!!
There is a lot of story in this book. We see a rift of distrust develop between Lark & one she’s always had faith in! Its deserved though but her distrust & defiance may well cost her everything she holds dear!! This had an intriguing ending, one I hope works out well.

Wow!! What a ride Shannon Mayer took us on. There was so much action and battles for Lark. I was so sad and exhausted by the end of Windburn. I am eager to see what Larks gets into, after her punishment was revealed in Windburn.
Shannon nailed this again! Lark and trouble that’s like a twins nonseparatable as usual. Could it get any better? Oh yes it does with each book ! I’m so hooked from the first page of the first book and there’s no chance to get off, so keep going to the next with a great anticipation!
