        Nya is a Shifter, someone who can heal by shifting pain from person to person.  She’s 
hunted by those eager to exploit her unique ability for their own purposes, determined to 
make her a weapon, a killer, even a symbol for the war that’s brewing. All Nya wants is to 
protect her family and regain her people’s freedom, but the more she’s drawn into the plans 
of others, the more she realizes how key to everyone’s victory she really is.
And how much she’ll have to sacrifice just to survive.
