Elemental Rush — Elana Johnson

For fans of Elana Johnson's dystopian romance series, Possession, comes a new paranormal teen romance: The Elemental Series.

Eighteen-year-old Adam Gillman has trained for twelve years to earn a coveted spot on the Supreme Elemental's elite sentry squad. His brother, Felix, is the commander, but Adam is still thrilled when his official assignment to serve Alexander Pederson comes.

He moves into nicer quarters and can stop getting up at four a.m. to complete his mandated work out time. He still rises early though, because he needs the solitude of early morning to practice his airmaking Element -- something that Adam has kept secret from everyone, even Felix, because he can't be both an Airmaker and a sentry.

When Alex assigns him to kill a group of rogue Elementals, he balks at completing his mission for the first time. See, his only friend is Isaiah Hawking, and he's the Earthmover on the accused Council. When faced with the prospect of killing him, Adam finds he can't do it.

He's well trained in assassination, but he thought he'd be murdering bad guys -- not innocents.

When Alex buries the Elemental Academy -- and kills over one thousand Elementals -- in a fit of rage, Adam's loyalty cracks. When he discovers that Alex is really a woman, and his brother's lover, he defects. He hops from city to city, from Elemental school to Elemental school, always escaping only minutes before Felix can embed a knife in his heart or a tsunami can make a classroom his watery grave.

He tries to fight back, but he's just one Airmaster with exceptional tracking skills. He does his best to warn those in danger, but as the last Elemental school goes up in flames, he knows he needs to get some real firepower on his side.
