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!

Eve Andric has lived a sheltered life in Nottingham. She knows nothing of The Story and what her parents did to save it until a former Guardian turns up dead in Sherwood Forest. After learning about The Story from her mother, Eve is eager to explore the new world before her. She gets her chance sooner than she expected when a wounded Merlin tells her that both her parents have been kidnapped. Eve works with Merlin and the children of her mother's best friends to rescue their abducted parents. But it soon becomes apparent that the children's destinies are more deeply entwined into The Story than they know, and trust runs thin between them. Can they overcome their differences and save their parents, or will their enemies triumph over the Guardians? Cover by Hannah-Marie Kilpatrick
