Books with title Pillar of the Sky

Waking up in an unknown place should be scary, but for some reason, I felt surprisingly calm . . . ish . . . about it. Okay, I may have been mildly panicking, but the point is, I kept my wits about me! When I first arrived, I knew two things: my name is Kalani, and I need to find my brother, Zane. Everything has been a learning experience. I was told, being a Guardian would be hard, yet everyone was vague about the details. They didn't tell me I would have intense, realistic simulations to get through--the type that in the end really messes with your feelings. "Let them die," yeah, like that's easy to swallow. They certainly didn't tell me that one of my classes would be how to fly. Who leaves that out? Seriously, flying is awesome. They really should have led with that. I credit Samuel with making things easier. He's a sweet talker who knows what to say to turn me into a blubbering idiot. The whole "I like him and he likes me" scenario really gets twisted when I learn a huge secret. Do I tell him? Do I keep it to myself? It makes the "let's be honest" thing difficult when what you have to say is life altering. As if that weren't hard enough, Zane decides to slap me with his own dose of the truth. Dude, come on, I'm your twin; you should've known better. I know you're just trying to help right now, but it's just giving me more anxiety. Ugh! On top of it all, it turns out Guardianship is about to be changed forever. Thanks, Alex.
