Five Choices of Friendship and Magic

While Lori may dream of becoming an Artist, one of the Gifted who creates the painting-spells, she needs more than strength and power to succeed. If she wishes to survive she must befriend the one girl all the other Artists fear, the one girl who refuses to allow Lori forget where she comes from.

This collection contains the first five Guardian Tale Stories: "The Unwanted Apprentice," "The Shells Speak Truth," "Becoming More," "Invitation, Rejected," and "Friendship Unmended."
