Book 1: The Healer's Road
Blurb: (From Book 1) Agna had looked forward to her overseas assignment for the last four years. It was just a side project on the way to taking over her father’s art agency, of course, but she eagerly awaited the opportunity to use her education and prove that studying to be a magical healer had been worthwhile.
Keifon never wanted to leave home. His choice was bleak: ship himself overseas, or be shut out by the man he loved. But he followed the gods’ will. He only wanted to spend some time alone, make himself useful to the foreigners as a medic, and make up for the things he’d done.
Two strangers, two years, one mission: Travel the back roads of an unfamiliar country and heal those who need to be healed. Including, perhaps, themselves.
Review: This is a bit different from the usual fantasy books I read. It's slow. The book simply follows two people as they get to know each-other. I'm all in for it as well, I found it a great read. Read this if you're after a book with well fleshed out characters that's only light on the usual fantasy tropes. (At the time of this review, I have only read the first book)
