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 (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. 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. Elizabeth Dwyer is the current owner and Senior Editor of North Star Press, as well as the farmer/owner of Dancing the Land Farm in Clearwater, Minnesota. Elizabeth first read Power Children, the first book in the Nasha-sheen Chronicles when she was 20, and it sincerely changed her life. From that time on the Nasha-sheen Chronicles has been a story she's returned to, again and again, for inspiration and solace. In the last years of Corinne's life, the two worked on the series together, honing, editing, and making it into the triumph that it is. Corinne died at the end of the summer in 2018, much of her last days were spent with Elizabeth reading Power Children to her aloud.
