Wind Singer - Leavey, Melanie

. .

Résumé :
There has to be more to life than being trapped on a tiny island. Cliona Stewart's family has lived on the magical island of Glencarragh, where selkies live in the bay and faery folk can be found closer than you'd imagine, for generations. Cliona knows that she should be proud of the legacy her family has built. Her father and brother are fishermen, just like her grandfather and uncles before them, and she and her Gran have the important task of collecting the sea glass that holds the selkies magic. She should be happy, surrounded by her family and tasked with such important work, but all that Cliona wants is freedom. Freedom to explore, to stretch her wings and fly as far and as fast as she can. But when Gran tells Cliona of a secret power that she has inherited, her dreams of leaving Glencarragh become more complicated than she could have ever imagined. Cliona is a Wind Singer. She has the rare power to control the frequent, terrible, and unnatural wind storms that attack the island. Now that she knows her true identity, Cliona is faced with a difficult decision. Will she accept her fate and stay on the island? Or will she leave everything she's ever known and leave the island unprotected from the wicked forces that are trying to destroy it?
