Secret Sky (Book 1)

A deftly crafted, impressively original and inherently compelling read from first page to last.
—Midwest Book Reviews

Danger, suspense, and mystery all bundled into one perfect read.
—Urban Lit Magazine

Secret Sky is a deeply moving book and it will stay with you forever. It's gentle and lyric, and it's dark and hard. It's an intelligent novel, generously sprinkled with beautiful, subtle humor, and written by a natural storyteller. What a treat!
—J.F. Kaufmann, author of The Langaer Chronicles

J.P. McLean captures your attention and you're hooked before you flip the first page. Before too long, she skillfully manages to have you question what you once thought impossible. A thoroughly enjoyable read that had me looking forward to her second book, long before I was through with the first.
—Island Gals Magazine

Fun . . . sensual, full of adventure
—Bill Engleson, author of Like a Child to Home

Kept me turning the page
—Diana Stevan, author of A Cry from the Deep

Hear an excerpt from the author

Everybody wishes they could fly—until it happens. For Emelynn Taylor, the laws of gravity are more like suggestions. And gravity doesn’t play nice. It abandons her without warning and sends her airborne, unchecked. Terrified, she vows to tame it. She returns to the seaside home where it began. There, she discovers a dangerous underworld. One that considers her an interloper and a threat. Whether she lives or dies is now in their hands. And not all of them are buying her innocent act.

Secret Sky is the first book in the thrilling, otherworldly The Gift Legacy series by JP McLean. Seamlessly blending paranormal mystery, fantasy, and romance, this beautifully written and deeply resonant adventure will swoop you into a vivid, new reality and leave your imagination soaring.
