Waking up in a forest with no recollection of who you are or where you were is not an excellent way to start anyone's day. For Genevieve, it was probably the unluckiest way. She tries to survive on her own, but the worry of not escaping the endless trees along with the thought of giving up invades her mind. With all hope lost Genevieve is saved by a man- a mysterious, good-looking, and well-built man with a gift beyond her knowledge. Despite his stubborn and dismissive ways towards her, she instantly attaches herself to his hip in hopes that he will help her recover her past.
After many searches and turnarounds together, they finally discover the problem behind her absent memories. She realizes that forgetting was never an option. She was bound to face something she had been evading all along, and there was no running away from it now that she knew what had to be done. The truth was staring her in the face, and she had to confront it head-on.

"My lost girl" he said and took his hand from under my chin, letting my head drop slightly. -- "I don't need to conquer the world." he scrutinized me with that wicked grin, a fire spreading through his gaze. "Having you means I already have." "I am not yours to conquer." I fought a smile as I turned around to walk away.

Siena (Forestfolk, Book 1)
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.
