Siena – Forestfolk Book 1

When the ability to heal others is a curse

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.

I so enjoyed the story from the first page, watching Siena come out of her protective scared shell to becoming a force but still a delightful person.

I would recommend this story to any teen who loves realistic fantasy characters surprised by their hidden powers and set in a wilderness type setting. Even young teens can relate to Sienna and the internal conflict we all experience in some time in our life when we must decide whether we protect ourselves or save those who find their way inside our hearts.
