AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A gold-eyed Healer, a prophecy, two brothers at war.

'In seasons long past, twin gold-eyed princes sundered a kingdom. Rejecting his brother’s warrior ways, Kasheron led his people away to establish the Tremen community of Allogrenia, deep in the great southern forests. Forgotten by the outside world and protected by the trackless trees, the Tremen flourish for seasons uncounted, upholding Kasheron’s legacy of peace and healing. All Tremen delight in the healing arts, but Kira is the greatest Healer of them all.

'To the north of Allogrenia, drought grips the land, and the Shargh suffer. A herding people, they lost their grazing tracts years before to the Northern invaders, through long and bloody wars. As the drought tightens its grip, and their herd animals die, the chief’s younger brother seizes on an ancient prophecy to snatch the chiefship for himself.

'The prophecy links the Shargh’s doom to a gold-eyed Healer, and Kira has gold eyes.

'The Shargh attack with devastating consequences, and Kira must fight to save the wounded. But the Shargh wounds rot, no matter her skill, and as the blood-shed continues, Kira faces losing everything and everyone she loves.

'Can Kira cure the Shargh wounds? Or will the Tremen community be destroyed?'
