They say power is a gift. But for Jodie, it feels like a curse.
When eighteen-year-old Jodie is pulled from her ordinary life and thrown into an elite Academy for the gifted, she quickly learns that nothing is as it seems-not her strange new powers, not the cryptic mark on her skin, and certainly not the other students watching her from the shadows.
Drawn into a secret group known only as The Circle, Jodie begins to uncover ancient truths buried beneath the school's polished walls-truths that whisper of rebellion, hidden bloodlines, and a spiral of power older than magic itself.
But the deeper she dives, the more dangerous the world becomes. And when secrets start to unravel, Jodie must decide: will she control the power within her... or will it control everything?
Perfect for fans of Shadow and Bone and Violet Made of Thorns, this is a story of hidden magic, chosen families, and the girl destined to shake the world.

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.

Remi's Great Escape (Forestfolk Prequel)
Before he ever met Siena, before he knew Foresthome even existed, Remi was an Aberration living under the iron-fisted rules of his tribe. Learn how a spirited and resourceful 12-year-old boy ousted his Plainsman oppressors in this prequel to the Forestfolk series. A little shoutout to maniacgirl for inspiring the title of this story. Though the events in this short story take place before Book 1 in the series, I recommend reading it AFTER you finish "Siena." I think it will be more satisfying that way, because then you'll understand the little Book 1 references I've planted here and there. Finally, the format of the title and cover for this story is different from the rest of the series. That's because I consider this to be bonus material rather than a continuation of the series. It's only 12 chapters long. I may change the cover at some point, but in the meantime, this is what I have. :)Complete
