"My flame is out," she mumbled. "I put out his flame too, and someday I'll put out theirs. It's what I do. Blanket the sparks and embers around me until they give up and become ash."
Lady Evynria De'Nath will never forget the day her brother died, nor will she ever absolve herself for the part she played in his death.
Three years later, the memory of that day hits her like a wave, just as an armed group of strangers arrive at her cottage door, begging her to be the healer for their grand quest. She adamantly refuses.
The group's desperate leader, Ferrin Kilgandaer, won't take no for an answer, however. She is the last champion he needs to prevent a prophecy that threatens his people, and more importantly, his family.
Evynria must overcome her fear of herself, or thousands of lives will be lost. But if her fears come true, she will be the one to bring their demise.
