Roseheart
A FANTASY NOVEL by Susan Mokelke
Jilene is different. Her unique ability to communicate with
animals sets her apart from the pragmatic people of her
homeworld Daecor. All her life she has been forced to hide her
gift, to disguise her true self. But everything is about to change.
She meets Rayell, who appears to be an animal, but is in
reality a kidnapped sentient from another world. Jilene rescues
Rayell. Joined by Hirel, a member of an elite troubleshooting
organization, they escape their pursuers only to find
themselves trapped on the Emerald Plain
The Plain, a highly restricted zone forbidden to outsiders,
has dangers of its own, including werecats and Wanderfolk, the
fierce itinerant inhabitants. All is not well on the Emerald Plain.

There has been a disturbance in the pattern of things. The Wanderfolk need help --
help only Jilene and Rayell can provide.
In trying to help Rayell and the Wanderfolk, Jilene will need to call upon every
scrap of courage she possesses. She will have to learn to trust in herself and in
others. Ultimately, she will have to die to her past to save her future and the future
of those she loves.
