Publisher's 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.

An Incredible Read!

I loved how this book was able to connect back to the previous books even though this was a new character. I loved the storyline and how each book shows a different type of family system. This one describes foster care and being an orphan for all intense purposes. I love the inclusion of it all.

SIMPLY AMAZING

Wow. This series gets better with each book! I listened to this book in less than two days! The action and unknown had my adrenaline on over drive!! I HAD to know what was going to happen. I'm so very excited to read the next book, that ties all the characters together. If you're on the fence about reading this book lemme just say.... Yes Yes and Yessss!

Always A Pleasure

A wonderful origin story that is unique and compelling. I loved the build-up of conflict and the threat that is hanging overhead. Once again, I'm engaged in what happens next and look forward to The Elementals story.

Born of Air

Petra’s story is exciting and mysterious. You don’t know who she is or what role she plays in the Elemental Origins series. Her abilities and story are compelling and interesting. The narrator keeps you engaged and brings this story to life.

A.L. Knorrs books are all beautifully written and this series is one of my favorite book series.

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS ONE.

AN ANCIENT MYSTERY SO OLD IT'S LITERALLY TOLD ON THE WINDS. A HERITAGE INCLUDING POWERS UNKNOWN... TILL NOW. A COVERT CORPORATION WITH A SECERT AGENDA... YET THEY'RE WILL TO DO ANYTHING TO GET THE WORLD'S ONLY WIND ELEMENTAL.

STORYLINE IS WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO FOLLOW. VERY ENJOYABLE, CLEAN AND IS MYSTERY, THRILLER, ADVENTURE WITH INTRIGUE AND LOTS OF LAUGHS THROUGHOUT.

ACCEPTABLE FOR TEENS AND UP

NARRATOR IS GREAT AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

Another great read!

Born of Air is an adventure waiting to be discovered. The old world history twist with new age keeps you wondering and want to keep turning each and every page! You will not be disappointed. Great job Abby!

She is a weapon

In this book we get to meet Petra, she is an orphan with a keen desire to get into Cambridge and learn to become an archaeologist.
I liked Petra from the moment she walked into her therapist's office. Her start in life is so sad and shrouded in mystery. The way she learned not to get too attached or trust is heartbreaking.
Descriptions were so beautiful and vivid, I felt transported into Libya with her and could almost feel the itch of sand she had to deal with. So much mystery in this one! Action and adventure all wrapped into one, and the way she got in tune with her many abilities gave me goosebumps.

Can't wait to see what happens with the organization and how they plan to use their supernaturals. I hope Jessie makes a comeback, I wonder if he was a supernatural too?
