France, 1917.
The Great War rages on, and 14-year-old Madeline Rappeneau fights a battle on two fronts.
By day, she volunteers at a hospital as a nurse's aide. By night, she sneaks into the muddy trenches as a field medic. Aiding her is a mystical bracer once owned by the legendary Jeanne d'Arc.
Intuitive and headstrong, Madeline uses medical skills gleaned from her father and the ancient armor's power to save lives on the battlefield. But an unknown force with knowledge of the bracer's true abilities conspires to bend her fate toward their own. The German war machine becomes the least of her worries when Madeline and her closest friend embark on a quest for answers, encountering nightmarish living puppets and life-threatening riddles.
A game of stealth and survival unfolds as Madeline races across the French landscape to unlock the secrets of Jeanne d'Arc and her bracer... or risk falling to the same grisly fate.

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.
