Northlander (Tales of the Borderlands, Book One)
They say winter in the Northlands can chill the skin right off your bones, and Northlanders are colder still...
When sixteen-year-old Ellin Fisher and her father travel to the Northlands on a secret, illegal mission to heal the ailing king, Ellin wishes they'd never come. She longs to go home to the Southland, where her red hair is like everyone else's, and where the practice of healing isn't called witchcraft, punishable by death. When Ellin heals the king herself, however, breaking the law is the least of her worries. She also accidentally awakens the mental powers of her Southling heritage--forbidden abilities that brand her an outsider even among her own people.
Soon, Ellin finds herself a wanted fugitive in the Northlands and hunted at home by a mysterious group called the Guardians. And though she is welcomed by a band of Southling outlaws with abilities like hers, she sorely misses the Northlander princes she befriended and fears for them when the outlaws reveal their plan to invade the Northlands. Torn between two worlds, Ellin must make the most difficult decisions of her life: what she's willing to do, and who she's willing to betray, to belong somewhere again.
