TREESPEAKER
A Treespeaker is one with his forest, moving with its spirit, inseparably bound to it.
Terrifying visions warn Jakan that a visitor to his tribe is not who he claims to be. As the villagers fall under the spell of the stranger’s mind-bending sorcery, Jakan grows desperate to be rid of him. Events take a sinister turn when he accuses the stranger of sacrilege — and it is Jakan, not the outsider, who is expelled from the forest. Join Jakan on his perilous journey across a blighted land as he searches for the secret that will save his people — and himself. If you'd like to know some more about the background to Treespeaker, I have a blog which gives a lot more information - http://treespeaker.blogspot.com There's also a page on Facebook MARK OF THE DRAGON QUEEN
Kira has led a sheltered life, brought up by her widowed father, whom she adores. When he is arrested and imprisoned for a murder he allegedly committed 18 years before, she is devastated. So when she overhears an ex-student of her father's planning to visit the prison, Kira decides to go, too. However, the student - Arun - is not who she thinks he is, and she soon learns that her father has not always been the man of integrity she has known for fifteen years.
Caught in a rebellion against the Lord High Councillor who would return the country to Wizard Rule, Kira finds that there is one more lesson she has to learn - about herself. Success depends on her, but is she willing to make the sacrifice it will require? A book for Young Adults, but suitable for all ages.
