Hidden in the trees is a boy with a mysterious past and powerful ability—will the team that found him have to watch him die? 15-year-old Joaquin can hear a man's heart beating a half a mile away. He can see in the dark when others are stumbling. One whiff and he can tell what was served for yesterday's dinner. But then he needs near-coma sleep to heal his brain from the searing pain. He's a Phoshat, and his ability comes with a price. Rumors spread about the mysterious Phoshat living in the forest around his family's estate. Then Kallum comes, the tall stranger who leads a mission team for the king. He's determined to add a Phoshat to the list of talents that his team boasts. He takes on the responsibility of a teenaged, untested Phoshat, and they set out, but soon it's evident that Joaquin's gift is so powerful that it almost swings out of control. As their journey goes on and unconsciousness overwhelms Joaquin over and again, Kallum begins to question whether Joaquin is ready for the dangerous mission that's growing more intense every day. Joaquin wonders too. Why was he born different than everyone else? Roots Entwine is a young adult fantasy adventure. A tree standing alone shades no one, but entwining his life with his team moves Joaquin towards the inevitable choice he must make for them. It's up to him to decide what the sum of his life will be, and if his inborn ability will be a curse to him or the gift that saves his friends.

“Would you kill a stranger for thirty thousand?” To eighteen-year-old Syamo Hintsmore, who grew up in the streets of the city Cloy, that’s not a half-bad deal. He knew from the beginning that bounty hunting had its dangers, but he wasn’t looking for them from the inside. The simple assassination job takes a sinister plunge when Hintsmore discovers that the person his boss wants him to kill is a mysterious individual known as Generation Seventy-Seven: the prophesied rescuer of humanity. There are no safe choices. Refusing to work as the Ocean’s Accomplice could mean instant death, and one mistake could secure the annihilation of humankind on the planet Melriana. Hintsmore has never considered himself to be a good person, and thirty thousand is a huge sum–but if he doesn’t stand up for his people, will anyone else?
