Forest Guardians

Healers can't save everyoneWhen she gets the opportunity to study at the best Healing Centre in the country, how could she say no? She'll get to see magic used in ways she never imagined were possible. Who knows? Maybe it'll help distract her from the family secret she discoveredA new forest also means new dangers. Being so close to the mountains, there are storms like she's never seen before, too. Scouts are constantly researching the new plants discovered in the rainforest, and any of those could be a new healing potion ingredient, or a deadly poison. Scouts aren't the only mages around the forest, though.People fall ill, and the healers get to work immediately. But nobody has seen this sort of illness before, and none of the standard treatments are working. Aili's abilities let her see the illness differently, but what is she even looking for? Can she learn anything useful and develop a treatment somehow?As the sickness spreads, anybody could be next. When someone she loves and depends on falls ill, can she find the cure and save their life? Will she lose them forever?

What use is a Mage without spells?In the hidden country of Athia, everyone grows into their powers as a small child. Everyone but Aili. Without the ability to cast spells, she can't go to school. What life could she possibly have in Athia, where your skill with spells determines your future? Aili leaves everything she knows behind as she looks for her place in the world. Countries around them don't have magic. She'll find her place there, right?There's just one problem. Powerful spells guard and protect the border. Sneaking past the most skilled mages in the country will be easier said than done, no matter how fast or far she runs. When she's tracked by the Scouts, Aili meets a man who will change her life, and show her how to use untapped powers she didn't even know existed. Her abilities aren't like anyone else's, though. Even her mentor isn't sure what all she can do, or how much power she really wields.Everything she ever dreamed of is open to her now, if she can learn to control powers nobody understands. But when magic starts fading from the land, their entire way of life is at risk. Not willing to lose it all when everything seems within her reach, Aili is determined to save magic.
