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!

The prophecy? The prophecy that was told by a dinky fortune telling stand, ran by an old woman? No one believes it, decades after the original telling, but all it said was that an evil villain would come to power and rule the world, only to be defeated by an even stronger, more malicious force. This force would take over the whole kingdom of WayLand, then attempt to take over the world, and succeed. You know the drill. However, in a world filled with civilains being able to teleport or bend metal to their will, no one thought it would ever come true.
