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!

Many thousands of years ago, a battle between good and evil started. The heroes were dwindling in numbers as the villains kept winning over and over, but one day a nameless hero came to help aid the side of good. When he came the heroes started winning more battle and started to beat the villains. The leader of the villains grew frustrated at the nameless hero. She sent her strongest minions to kill him but all failed and died. She then went to fight the nameless hero, it was a long fought battle. The hero using magic and weapons and the villain using her own magic and weapons kept going at each other. The hero finally gained the upper hand and knocked down the villain. "Your evil ends now." "You would like that wouldn't you? You would like me to stop fighting." "I would and I'm the only one who can end this nightmare." "You can't." The hero started to say some incantation and the villain could feel her power being taken away. "What are you doing to me?!" "I'm removing your power so you can't hurt anyone again." The hero summons a magical chest. "This chest will store your power since it can't be destroyed." "NO!" All her power left her and flowed into the chest. She turned into a ghostly figure. "How could you do this to me?" "I have people to protect." "Curse you." "This chest won't open for you. Your power is locked away forever." "CURSE YOU!" The hero then walked away and left her there at the chest for all eternity. Or so he thought. Thousands of years later, now in a cave she hears someone coming. "Oh i'm fine, thought i heard something. It sounded like crying." She smiled at the fact she would finally get her powers back and get revenge on the human race.
