Burned

Sometimes we are forged in fire. Other times we are burned. Three years before the events of Chosen, Emmanuelle is a new White Elm councillor in a stagnant, overlooked role. When she and Peter are finally sent on their first assignment together to assist in crisis relief for a bushfire raging in Australia, she begins to find her voice and purpose - and Fate's. All proceeds of this ebook will be donated to WIRES (Wildlife Information Rescue and Education Service) and their efforts to rescue and rehabilitate wildlife affected by the Australian bushfires.
This short story ties into the YA/NA fantasy series The Elm Stone Saga.
