Secret Sky (Book 1)

Some secrets protect you. Some get you killed.

Emelynn Taylor guards a dangerous one: she can shed gravity. But the gift a mysterious stranger gave her in childhood is wild, unpredictable, and slowly destroying her life. Alone at her family's oceanfront cottage on Canada’s west coast, she vows to bring it to heel—until a devastating fall from the sky exposes her to the last people who should ever find her.

Kidnapped from her own beach, Emelynn is pulled into the hidden world of Fliers: coveys, powerful tribunals, and the rare few who can ghost—dissolving into invisible molecules to watch, to listen, to follow.

Her captor-turned-mentor, the darkly compelling Jackson Delaney, insists he only wants to keep her safe. But someone she cannot see is watching the cottage, a woman is missing, and the deeper Emelynn falls—for the sky, and for Jackson—the deadlier the secrets become.

"Fans of A Discovery of Witches, Ninth House, and Karen Marie Moning's Fever series will devour Secret Sky."

SECRET SKY EARNED HONOURABLE MENTION FROM THE WHISTLER INDEPENDENT BOOK AWARDS.

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

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

Everybody wishes they could fly—until it happens. Emelynn Taylor can shed gravity—a secret gift that's slowly destroying her life. When a devastating fall from the sky exposes her, she's kidnapped into the hidden world of Fliers, where invisible ghosts watch and listen, her captor-turned-mentor guards deadly secrets, and falling—in every sense—could kill her.
