Jael, Tohon, Sepp and the others are characters that I loved reading about not just for their personalities but for their powers and how they worked. I thought the mages were especially intriguing. The eleven different types and the magicians who control them are well thought out. They provide much necessary comic relief – not only to the reader but also to the other characters. The Monkeys (Quain and Loren), Papa Bear (Belen) and Flea are absolutely fantastic. She’s strong in spirit and can hold her own against Kerrick and his bunch of merry men but she knows how to follow orders when completely necessary. Despite the time frame of this novel taking months and there being down time in between deathly feats, there was never a boring moment during the entire book.Īvry is a kick arse heroine. This book is the kind of adventure fantasy book that I adore. Taking Kerrick of Alga up on his deal, Avry joins his warriors as they make their way though many of the Fifteen Realms facing assassins and magicians on an adventure Avry never saw coming. She can come with him and save his friend or keep her appointment with the gallows.
After an incident lands Avry in a jail cell and a date with her death in the morning, a stranger offers Avry a choice. Their leader – an enigmatic captor-protector with powers of his own – is unequivocal in his demands Avry must heal a plague-stricken prince, the leader of a campaign against her people.Īs they traverse the daunting Nine Mountains, beset by mercenaries and magical dangers, Avry must decide who is worth healing and what is worth dying for.Īvry of Kazan – a healer on the run ever since the Plague started three years ago and the people turned against those with the power to heal. Stressed and tired from hiding, Avry is abducted by a band of rogue who, shockingly, value her gift above the golden bounty offered for her capture. Healers like Avry are accused of spreading the plague that has decimated the Territories, leaving the survivors in a state of chaos. But rather than being honoured for her skills, she is hunted. Laying hands upon the injured and dying, Avry of Kazan assumes their wounds and diseases into herself.
