Oreun is in danger. In order to counter the upcoming disaster, Oreun has given the gift of being a Rune Wielder. It is given to humans that, if they survive, are granted a power to protect Oreun and its four planets. The power that Oreun passes down from human to human differs every thirty years. Every thirty years, a new cycle starts for those who must guard the artifacts and keep Oreun the way it has always been--safe. Four teens. Four planets. One universe. Everything seems easy enough until they learn of the dangers that comes with being a protector, and just how much they must sacrifice for themselves and others. Just as things seemed to have been calmed down, something new arises from the ruins of an old planet unspoken of, forgotten in time by everyone except the original four. A fifth Rune Wielder. Between Colbie's own problems accepting herself as a guardian and constant infighting between her teammates, Oreun seems doomed on its way to reviving the corrupt Rune Wielder's power.

Once upon a time, a cat fell in love with an ambitious man.

Siena can heal wounds with a touch of her hands. A captive since birth, she is used as a tool of war by a Plainsmen tribe. A chance escape into the forest proves successful... and deadly. Rescued by the Forestfolk--a group of people she always thought were nothing more than bedtime stories--Siena remains on edge. Trust does not come easily when persecution is all she's ever known. Keeping her abilities a secret seems like the right thing to do, until a tragic accident renders two Forestfolk spiraling toward death. If she chooses to reveal her abilities, she risks being subjugated again. Treated as no longer human. Maybe even sent back to the Plainsmen. But keeping her talent to herself means ignoring the injured around her, even allowing them to die. The choice seems obvious to Siena, but living with the repercussions of that choice is another matter altogether. A journey of self-discovery, a bit of adventure, and a splash of romance. On the Wattys 2017 Shortlist!
