In a time of chaos, one specific group is often blamed for
the trouble. This time around, it is the healers who get
the brunt of the heat. Avry is the main character, she is
also a healer. As a healer, Avry takes the wounds and
disease from
others and literally transmits those to herself. She
suffers for them, but is not appreciated.
Avry is captured by a group of people that want her to heal
their ill prince; however, that prince is also leading a
campaign to destroy the healers. Avry has to make very
hard decisions concerning right and wrong and life and
death. The reader will be biting his/her nails along with
Avry throughout the novel.
The characters, particularly Avry, are fun to read about.
She is compassionate, intelligent, and witty-all of the
traits one can hope for in a main character. The secondary
characters round out the novel and the reader gets to meet
quite a few. The events are fast-paced and exciting, the
ending is perfect for the story and leaves the reader
wanting more. Fortunately TOUCH OF POWER is the beginning of
what is hoped to be a long series.
Laying hands upon the injured and dying, Avry of Kazan assumes their wounds and diseases into herself. But rather than being honored for her skills, she is hunted. Healers like Avry are accused of spreading the plague that has decimated the Territories, leaving the survivors in a state of chaos. Stressed and tired from hiding, Avry is abducted by a band of rogues who, shockingly, value her gift above the golden bounty offered for her capture. Their leader, an enigmatic captor-protector with powers of his own, is unequivocal in his demands: Avry must heal a plague-stricken prince—leader of a campaign against her people. As 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. Because the price of peace may well be her life....
