Trees. Over 23,000 species in the world, with the largest one measuring at 379.1 feet tall! But what if they held the power to run the world? And what if you were one of very few who had been born to protect their immense power from the jealous and malicious Dryad spirits? This is the unlikely honour bestowed upon unwitting Jayne Farra; a fifteen year old schoolgirl from the small, yet picturesque island of Île des Arbres. All Jayne wants is to lead a happy life where people appreciate her for who she is and where they do not simply cast her aside. What she doesn't expect is for everything she thought she knew to be turned completely on its head, and for everyone she thought she trusted to be working on their own agendas. What she holds in her hands is now much more than her own life and happiness. And then there's Fabien - the new boy on the island, and perhaps the only person who knows the truth about her; about what she is. She finds herself becoming more drawn to him by the day, but when a relationship is prohibited and a task is at hand, she must let feelings slide. Jayne has wishes. But what she is about to discover is that sometimes, the very thing you wish for comes at the cost of something far greater. A story of love, jealousy and never forgetting what it is you hold most dear. Cover image copyright - AdobeStock, stock.adobe.com

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!
