Why these tropes fit
This romantasy novel follows Avry of Kazan, a healer with the rare ability to absorb others’ wounds and diseases into herself, who is hunted by the Fifteen Realms after healers are blamed for a devastating plague. After being abducted by a rogue band that values her gift over the bounty on her head, Avry is tasked by the group’s enigmatic captor-protector leader with healing a plague-stricken prince who leads a campaign against her own people. The pair travel across the dangerous Nine Mountains, facing mercenaries and magical threats, as Avry weighs who deserves her healing and whether the cost of peace is worth her own life.
