Power Children

Power Children is the first book in the Nasha-sheen Chronicles, a series detailing the life of Autumn Leaves, an unlikely hero, and the enthralling, hidden world of the Nasha-sheen, her people. Power, the exquisite attunement of physical ability and intelligence, is what saved the Nasha-sheen from oblivion, it's what maintains their secrecy, what rules them, what gives them purpose and culture, and, what nearly caused their undoing. Autumn Leaves, an apparent orphan, struggles to reconcile her small, relatively weak frame with the immensity of her developing mind, and her insatiable need to understand. All the while the enigmatic forces behind the traumas of her past hope to guide her, aid her, and somehow rein her in to prevent her from becoming what she must become.

Corinne A. Dwyer

Corinne A. Dwyer (1950-2018) was a champion of books and writers alike. Spending nearly 50 years working at, and later owning, North Star Press, Corinne lived her literary passions and shepherded thousands of books into the world. She was a prolific writer, a gifted illustrator and visual artist, and took endless joy in the gardens and critters on the farm where she lived and died. Corinne loved the natural world, endlessly drawing on the beauty and intricasy there to ground her novels with depth and real wisdom. Corinne died of a brain tumor in 2018, a devastation to her family, her business, and her devoted fans. The Nasha-sheen Chronicles, an epic, wise, beautiful, and arching series, were begun when Corinne was in third grade, and worked on until her final weeks. While she wrote many other books and stories, the Nasha-sheen Chronicles, the world and characters therin, were her beauty and brilliance in book form.
