About this ebook

Hidden in the trees is a boy with a mysterious past and powerful ability—will the team that found him have to watch him die?

15-year-old Joaquin can hear a man's heart beating a half a mile away. He can see in the dark when others are stumbling. One whiff and he can tell what was served for yesterday's dinner. But then he needs near-coma sleep to heal his brain from the searing pain. He's a Phoshat, and his ability comes with a price.

Rumors spread about the mysterious Phoshat living in the forest around his family's estate. Then Kallum comes, the tall stranger who leads a mission team for the king. He's determined to add a Phoshat to the list of talents that his team boasts. He takes on the responsibility of a teenaged, untested Phoshat, and they set out, but soon it's evident that Joaquin's gift is so powerful that it almost swings out of control. As their journey goes on and unconsciousness overwhelms Joaquin over and again, Kallum begins to question whether Joaquin is ready for the dangerous mission that's growing more intense every day.

Joaquin wonders too. Why was he born different than everyone else?

Roots Entwine is a young adult fantasy adventure. A tree standing alone shades no one, but entwining his life with his team moves Joaquin towards the inevitable choice he must make for them. It's up to him to decide what the sum of his life will be, and if his inborn ability will be a curse to him or the gift that saves his friends.

Victoria Bastedo

Victoria Bastedo lives in an old house on the river with a small mountain nearby so she can watch the moon travel over it. She enjoys being in a small town near Seattle, WA; to experience nature at home and also travel to the city to visit the Market and buy the occasional Dicks burger! She is a mother of six children, which has made her by association; a doctor, a teacher, an advice columnist, and a shoulder getting ever more cushioned by time. She has found support in God, her family, and the joy of knowing many friends, including those in her writing group who’ve given her a lot of help and good advice. Thank you for reading!
