Little Sember stole readers' hearts in "Siena." Join her now, ten years later, as she embarks on a quest of her own to save her people, and to finally accept her true self along the way. - - - Sixteen and struggling is not how Sember wants to describe herself. Born with the ability to conjure fire, every day is a challenge to keep the churning blaze within her under control. After nearly incinerating her parents at the age of six, guilt and doubt plague her at every turn. While the village's gifted healer is away, a mysterious disease sweeps through Foresthome, and people start dying. When her parents get infected and the resident herbalist has no solutions, she takes it upon herself to track the clues and locate the source of this unnatural plague. Joined by her brother and a handsome Iceling, they must unravel the mystery and face an unexpected enemy in the shadows. If they fail, the plague will engulf the world she knows, plunging it into dark times. Maybe a little fire is exactly what they need. --- Big thanks to @vexnir for illustrating this awesome cover.

After her mother and late father, Eileen Belinda Fowler trusted her instinct the most. She had depended on instinct all her life. It was instinct that made her slap her classmate Danny Johnson when he stole her lunch. When she was stuck in a school fire in the second grade, it was her instinct that told her to trust the man offering her a hand, even though she was told not to trust strangers. Instinct was what had her rip the love letter Danny Johnson had given to her, when she was eight, before even reading it. She kicked her stepfather in the shin when he married her mother, purely on the base of—you guessed it—instinct. Similarly, when she found herself trapped in her own house, it was instinct that led her to Danny Johnson’s doorstep. Similarly, becoming a Muslim was also something her instinct had told her to do. Yet, despite all her rash decisions in life, she had yet to experience regret. Oh well, there’s always a first time for everything, right?

Sadie Arlo hasn't been herself for a while. Like most teens, she has a lot on her plate, but it's much more than just chemistry homework or basketball games; she keeps finding herself switching bodies with strangers every single day. Is it tough? Of course, but it sure beats tenth grade. First place in the wicked awards!

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!
