THEY DESTROYED HER WORLD. BUT SHE'S THEIR ONLY HOPE...

Avry's power to heal the sick should earn her respect in the plague-torn land of Kazan. Instead she is feared. Her kind are blamed for the horrifying disease that has taken hold of the nation. When Avry uses her forbidden magic to save a dying child, she faces the guillotine. Until a dark, mysterious man rescues her from her prison cell.

His people need Avry's magic to save their dying prince. The very prince who first unleashed the plague on Kazan. Saving the prince is certain to kill Avry - yet she already faces a violent death. Now she must choose - use her healing touch to show the ultimate mercy or die a martyr to a lost cause?

So I randomly picked this up one day and did not expect to like this as much as I did. This was really entertaining to read, it drew me in from the first page and I just couldn't put it down! I was pleasantly surprised about this. A huge part of the story that drew me in was the romance, it wasn't obvious or cliche, well maybe a little cliche but not overly and not in your face. Because the romance was such a huge part of me liking this book I hope that doesn't mean I won't like book 2 as much.
