Not long after the Great Winds give birth to the land of Eruna, a gifted winglet grows into a girl who is determined to follow her path, whatever that might be. One day after she insists she wants to study magic at a special academy by the cliffs, she leaves her grandfather, Tavat, leader of the clans of the High Plateaus, no choice but to accompany her with his best warriors on a journey across Eruna. Unfortunately, their journey is fraught with danger. Along the way, Ooloo encounters the High Matriarchs daughter who is secretly life-mated to a wingman from a family politically opposed to her mother; a wingless ground-dweller who has fled from an accident and left behind his lover and family; and a former Wind Dancer who is wreaking death and destruction in the Wastelands under the bidding of his demon overlord. As the Winds intertwine all of their lives, they must wait to see if their destiny will take root among the giant Trees of Eruna or if an evil presence will unleash a dark plan. The Winds of Eruna is a story of strength amid adversity as a gifted winglet sets out on a quest to battle the evil that overshadows her land.

The world of Eruna, where the wind never ceases, is inhabited by winged beings (known as "Wings") and beings without wings (known derogatively as "Grubs"). Every winged child in the Eight Realms and Northern Provinces is sent to Cliffside School by the age of eight to be educated and prepared to participate in the Wind Trials, which they must pass to become a Wind Dancer and be allowed to study magic. The three gigantic trees of Cliffside have been "seen" by a gifted young winglet far, far to the north, who is determined to make her way to Cliffside. She elicits the aid of her grandfather, the leader of the Clans of the Northern Plateaus, and several warriors, to accompany her on her perilous journey. At Cliffside, two eighth-level students have undergone the "Desideratum" in which they have become irrevocably bound together by love to be eventually joined as life-mates. The young wingwoman is the daughter of the High Matriarch of the Eight Realms, who has dark plans for Eruna and whose use of dark magic has corrupted her. The young wingman is the son of the Patriarch of the lowliest Tree in the land due to the actions of an ancestor, who seeks to return to Eruna with the help of a powerful demonic creature, to exact revenge on those whom he believes betrayed him. Living between the roots of the giant trees of Eruna, the wingless people have been made to serve the Winged. Their lives are not their own, but they find joy and happiness despite their enslavement. One such young man finds his plans for a bright future blown away during the Turn of Winds and sets out on a journey of his own.

Eruna, once overrun by dragons, is soon to witness the destructive force of the creatures once again. as an enormous black dragon, known by the lizard-like Malakand as "Death," has begun a reign of terror, ridden and controlled by a former Wind Dancer, T'ardis Morrenaire. Morren had unwisely used a powerful spell given to him by Saarnak, demonic ruler of the Void. The destructive force of the spell had sent Morren into the Void, his wings burned to nubs, his face and body horribly disfigured. After a time, Saarnak opened a portal and sent him back to Eruna with the infant dragon and the ability to create an army of undead with which to attack the Eight Realms and Cliffside School. While Morren's aim is to exact revenge on those he believed had betrayed him and were responsible for his misfortune, Saarnak has a much darker plan. Forewarned by Ooloo, a gifted young winglet from the High Plateaus, Lynette and her life-mate Jordan are determined to return to Cliffside School with their infant daughter, Aerielle to warn the leaders there of the coming attack. Having left Cliffside to escape the wrath of her mother, the High Matriarch of the Eight Realms, they are accompanied by their friends. Kevar and Hanoera, along with Ooloo and her grandfather, several clan warriors, and three Malakand. The group is met along the way by the Royal Consort, Lynette's father, Mattern, who had been searching for his daughter in hope of finding her before her evil mother, the High Matriarch, with whom he had finally cut all ties. Their journey back to Cliffside is met with disaster almost immediately, resulting in several painful separations which affect the fates of everyone involved. Foremost in their minds is the fate of the universe should Saarnak and his demon hordes successfully escape the Void into Eruna. New bonds and friendships will be formed and tested, as well as old ones. In this continuing saga of the Winds of Eruna and the winged and wingless beings who live there, plots thicken, tragedy abounds, knowledge is gained, and love grows despite all odds.
