Snyder's gripping Healer series, introducing Avry of Kazan, a young woman whose healing magic makes her both saviour and outcast in a plague-ravaged land.

A standout addition to any fantasy shelf, it launches a beloved trilogy with confidence and heart.. About the Book:. In the plague-torn Territories, healers like Avry of Kazan are feared rather than celebrated, blamed for the disease that has decimated the population. When Avry breaks her own rule and uses her forbidden magic to save a dying child, she is condemned to the guillotine. Rescue comes from an unexpected source: a band of rogues who need her unique gift for a desperate mission. Their prince is dying, and only Avry's touch can save him - except he is the very man responsible for unleashing the plague that destroyed her home and family. Forced into an impossible alliance, Avry must decide whether saving one life is worth risking everything she has left. Snyder builds a vivid, dangerous world where magic carries real cost, and every act of healing takes something from the healer in return. The narrative moves quickly between tense escapes, uneasy alliances and moments of genuine emotional weight, as Avry wrestles with grief, duty and the pull of an enemy she cannot simply hate. Themes of sacrifice, power and redemption run throughout. Readers who enjoy character-driven fantasy with strong heroines and political tension will find plenty to love here, and this opening instalment sets up a world compelling enough to carry readers straight into the sequels..
