A healer who refuses to look away. A paladin bound by duty. A war that will demand more than either is prepared to lose.
For seventy-two years, Lyrielle Dawnlight has lived within the sheltered forests of Aelindor, studying the healing arts and serving the elven god Caelion. Yet safety becomes impossible to accept when refugees arrive with tales of destroyed villages, emptied graves and the dead rising across the northern kingdoms. Driven by compassion, Lyrielle leaves her homeland for the first time to offer her magic to the human Alliance.
The world beyond Aelindor is harsher than she imagined. War leaves little room for innocence, human lives pass with frightening speed and the soldiers she has come to help are uncertain what to make of an elven healer among their ranks. Determined to prove that she belongs, Lyrielle joins Blackwood Company and finds herself under the command of its captain, Elion Blackwood.
Elion is an infuriatingly vigilant paladin of Veydras who believes Lyrielle is unprepared for the realities of war. She believes he is far too accustomed to deciding what is best for everyone around him. But beneath their disagreement lies a shared refusal to abandon those who need them. Reluctant companionship becomes trust, and trust deepens into a love neither expected to find in the midst of battle.
As the undead spread and every victory reveals a greater threat, Lyrielle and Elion are drawn into a conflict that will test their courage, challenge their faith and demand sacrifices neither is prepared to make. Together, they must fight for the living-and for whatever future the war may leave them.
The Knight and the Healer is the first book in The God Scar Cycle, an adult epic fantasy of 188,000 words, with a central slow-burn romance. Their story continues in Book Two.
