The Shifter—Janice Hardy

Nya, a fifteen-year-old war orphan, is a Taker. Through her touch she can heal injuries, drawing the pain into her own body. Unlike other Takers, she can’t push the pain into the


enchanted metal used to store it. All she can do is shift it from person to person, a skill she must hide or risk being set to work as a human weapon. But when her sister mysteriously disappears, Nya must decide—how far will she go to save her? Her search reveals dangerous events and a bigger political game on her island home.



This is the first book in the Healing Wars Series. The second book, Blue Fire is available now with a third book due out this year.
