This is the first in a planned series. Blood of the Forest follows the perspective of Wizards, a Kah-nachi (Kts-az-rn), a Forest (Lord Bazu), and Sin and Reas Taffren (brother and sister). Becoming an adult a year early, 12 year old Reas struggles to keep his eight year old sister safe and fed by working at a local farm that encroaches on the border of Woods. Meanwhile, Sin stumbles headfirst into the forbidden places of Woods and finds magic that only dwells in the blood of the creatures who live there. When all the perspectives’ paths start converging on Sin, she begins to realize that trouble is heading towards the farm and the creatures of Woods.

This book is set in a world where humans are a small pocket among expansive forest lands with daunting human-equivalent creatures. Tensions and prejudice on the borders are high, and the claws of the Forests’ reach to the capital.
