Cover of WorldWind

WorldWind

Brett Schneider

Sixteen-year-old Zuma “Z” Alexander is grieving her father, fighting with her mother, and barely holding herself together when she chases a legendary green flash across the Pacific on a kiteboard. Instead of finding light, Z finds a doorway. Pulled into Vindurheim, a flooded world of rival seafaring peoples, ancient prophecy, monstrous creatures, and brutal war, Z is stranded far from Earth with no obvious way home. Her only advantages are a dead phone, her talent for kitesurfing, a stubborn refusal to stay out of trouble, and fragments of knowledge from a world far more technologically advanced than this one. As Z becomes entangled in a conflict between the Paskari and Vin-Paskari, she must decide whether finding her way home matters more than saving the people who have given her something she thought she had lost: purpose. WorldWind is a YA portal fantasy adventure about grief, survival, found family, and discovering that sometimes the way forward begins by being blown completely off course.
