Nature keeps a delicate balance...
Newly chosen as her town's apprentice healer, Marla's future is promising. She might not travel the world now, but she has a place she belongs. But things aren't always what they seem. When powers within her awaken, she connects to the land in a way deeper than she thought possible. Now she's part of a secretive group that stays in the shadows, tending to nature. Can they prevent another year of drought? Her people aren't the only ones with powers, and others are also awakening. The Light Chargers rule the country, and their magic isn't like hers. They draw power from her people. Not only must she learn to use her powers, she must stay hidden. If they discover her, she could be drained, or worse... Forced from her home by the Light Chargers, and with magic she can't control yet, can she make it to her people's hidden city? If she can find her place and learn to use her powers, maybe she can help bring the rain back. But with power hungry Light Chargers after her, will she survive long enough to make a difference? If she does, will she even know what to do? Her only hope is finding new friends along the way...
