War looms over Cansere, and a healer’s gift is both blessing and burden. Nym, a young healer and beekeeper, supports her family after her brother is conscripted to the front. When the queen summons her to the palace to treat Prince Renn—a reclusive heir stricken by a mysterious illness—Nym intends to fail quickly and return home.
But Renn’s condition is unlike anything she’s ever seen, and against her will, she makes progress no healer before her has achieved. Suddenly, she is bound to the castle as the prince’s official healer and a ward of the crown.
Trapped within treacherous court politics, Nym must uncover the truth behind Renn’s illness. Yet the more she heals him, the more she risks surrendering her heart.
