Book Description
"...an original fantasy world inhabited by superstitious tribal nations and intriguingly developed characters." (USA TODAY) Seventeen-year-old Kita can meld song into stone, a gift greatly honored in a culture with no written word. However, she must hide her ability from the powerful village sorcerer who enslaves her. Ostracized and alone, she longs to escape her miserable existence, but each day her master's magical hold tightens around her. Then Pono, a young journeyman, arrives from the other side of the island. In him, Kita sees her one slim chance at freedom—and she’ll risk her life to take it. The story of a girl who yearns for freedom and a boy determined to be more than what's expected of him. Their desperate journey will leave them both forever changed. A twisty tale of island magic, tummy-tingling romance, and adventure, inspired by Māori folklore. "Chivalry, complex world building, and poetic prose make Songstone a winning and unforgettable story." (Jennifer Cervantes, award-winning young adult author of Tortilla Sun) "Songstone sings with characters who come to life, a story full of magic, heart and adventure, and a world that lets you smell the sea air and feel the tropical sun on your back." (Lisa Gail Green, author of The Binding Stone) Excerpt The stranger was taller than me—though that didn’t mean much since I was shorter than most of the villagers—and he was younger than I’d imagined a journeyman would be, perhaps only a year older than me. Even though we were in the woods after sunset, there was just enough light so I could see his eyes were a warm nut brown. If I could see him, I realized, then he could see me. I drew up straight and prepared for his eyes to widen at the sight of my ugly pale skin, my straight, slippery red hair, and my green eyes. Would he be afraid? I was preparing to rush past him, when he spoke. “I am Pono,” he said, surprising me so much that my feet stuck to the ground.

Book Description
In the heart of the Ether, where the boundaries between realms blur and the veil between magic and reality thins, a silent force awakens. They are the Ethereal Sentinels, beings not of flesh and blood, but of stardust and moonlight, forged in the crucible of creation itself. Each Sentinel embodies an aspect of the cosmos: the unwavering strength of mountains, the serene wisdom of ancient forests, the raw power of storms, and the delicate grace of blooming flowers. They are guardians of an intricate tapestry woven from the threads of existence, a balance so fragile that a single tear could unravel the universe itself. Yet, a shadow looms over the Ether, a discordant note in the symphony of creation. A malevolent force seeks to shatter the balance, to plunge the cosmos into chaos. The Sentinels, once slumbering, now rise to answer this threat. Their journey will be perilous, their trials fraught with danger, but their resolve is unyielding. For they are the protectors of existence, the guardians of harmony, the Ethereal Sentinels. And their time has come.

Book Description
The poets of old spoke of Seers gifted with waking dreams, of Sentinels, who could take the form of the beasts of the air, and who watched over the sacred lands. Then the age of gifts came to an end. Over a hundred years, Seers and Sentinels became as Legends, stories told to wide-eyed children at night. Annalisia is secretly a seer. A princess with a courageous spirit. And a soft spot for Legends. Jovanni is secretly a legend. A commoner with little patience for pampered royals. On the eve of a royal ball, Anna longs for nothing more than to escape. Her duty, a marriage of alliance with a man she doesn't love. Even so, she's torn by her great love for her grandmother, the queen. And her deep loyalty to her people. In an age of political turmoil, powerful forces are at work. Enemies. Spies. Threats to all Anna and Jovanni hold dear. Threats that could reveal their carefully guarded secrets. For the time has come for Legends to awake. "For fans of romance, fantasy, or for those who want to escape into the pages of a beautifully crafted world with richly developed characters and exquisite writing."
