THE FLOATING ISLANDS by Rachel Neumeier

Synopsis:
When Trei loses his family in a tragic disaster, he must search out distant relatives in a new land. The Floating Islands are unlike anything Trei has ever seen: stunning, majestic, and graced with kajurai, men who soar the skies with wings.

Trei is instantly sky-mad, and desperate to be a kajurai himself. The only one who fully understands his passion is Araene, his newfound cousin. Prickly, sarcastic, and gifted, Araene has a secret of her own . . . a dream a girl cannot attain.

Trei and Araene quickly become conspirators as they pursue their individual paths. But neither suspects that their lives will be deeply entwined, and that the fate of the Floating Islands will lie in their hands. . . .

Gotta say this one looks and sounds beautiful. Not entirely convinced it is the right read for me, but boy oh boy will I give it a chance!

Release Date: February 8, 2011

There is something really enchanting about the idea of floating islands, isn't there? I'm not sure if I'd read this, but I love the idea of it.
