Summary

In a desert full of danger, the ancient sands whisper her name.

All Petra Kara wants in life is to study Archaeology at the University of Cambridge. And she's so close. She's got the grades, she's got the ambition. All she needs now is an outrageous sum of money and experience on an Old World archaeological excavation. If only she could find a way to get rid of her annoying low-grade telepathy. There's nothing Petra hates more than a cheat and a liar and it's too easy to cheat when you can read people's minds.

When Petra spies an ad for a volunteer position on an excavation to North Africa, she knows its meant for her. But there is more waiting for her in Libya than broken pottery and human remains. A heart-pounding race through the desert under a sky full of stars with Jesse, her sexy dig-mate and newfound crush, ends when Petra slides into an ancient cave-system with strange stones embedded in the walls.

That's where her life changes forever.

As her powers manifest, there are those who think they have a good reason to destroy her before she becomes too powerful.

Will she survive long enough to learn who she is and what she's really capable of?

Born of Air is the fifth book in The Elemental Origins Series, a nonlinear series of captivating YA urban fantasy stories which can be listened to in any order. If you love strong female protagonists and elemental magic, then you’ll love A.L. Knorr’s mystical desert adventure.

Listen to Born of Air and get blown away today.

What a read!

Started one of the audio books from
This author by mistake and ended up buying everything I could find. She has an incredible imagination and I loved escaping reality into her made up worlds! There is not a book from A.L. Knorr you would regret getting. Once you like one, you love them all!

Ooooh, full of potential energy.....ready for the next dose now

Another great book from AL Knorr, leaves you longing to find out what comes next....can’t wait til all my favourite characters meet up! How do you think these plot lines up? So good. Think they would be great in film too.

Another amazing read/listen

Oh my! Abby has done it again! What an amazing book and one of the best series I have ever read and listened too. If you love the mythical legends and creatures set in a modern world make sure you read this series. You won’t be disappointed! Now on to The Elementals!

Another fantastic story

This book is about Petra, the air elemental.

Raised in foster homes after her mother died giving birth to her, Petra dreams of going to Cambridge University to study archaeology.

Initially, her 'powers' are telekensis and mind reading, but during a dig overseas, Petra literally falls into a cave and transforms into the air elemental,

There are many things I could say about this book, but it will give away spoilers - you will have to listen to it to find out - you won't be disappointed.

Gabra Zackman does a brilliant job of narrating again.

Will be listening to the next book to see what happens when all the elementals come together.

An Exciting Adventure

This is a beautifully narrated book. It is a very exciting and intriguing adventure. It definitely leads onto the next book with a few unanswered questions, it is really well written. I loved learning about Petra finding herself and growing into what she is and am very excited to see what happens next when all of the characters from the previous books are brought together.

Meet the final elemental

This book introduces you to the final elemental teenager from Saltford, Petra Kara.

This story is set in Libya, where Petra is involved in an archaeological dig. If you know Abby’s books you know this will not be a simple exercise, and Petra encounters both obstacles and danger, whilst learning much about her nature in the process. Really enjoyed this book, give it a go!

Wow more than a storm in a teacup

Now it’s time for Air! We travel to Libya with Petra as she discovers her mysterious powers. Once again Abby Lynn wraps us up in a story I didn’t want to end. Can’t wait for the Elementals
