A man on the brink of death. A quest to clear his name. A woman drowning in the shadows. Can she clear his name and save herself?

Vivianna Valmurith never wanted to leave the quiet, sleepy forests that became her home in the time following her escape from Oblivion. Settled and happy with her Bond, Kishentar, she is content to live the life of a backwater apothecarist and part-time scientist where no trouble can find her. After the uprising on Koatona and finally gaining her revenge for what the organization stole from her, she wants nothing but peace, solitude, and escape. She's put the past behind her. Or so she thought.

When Kishentar shows up with a globally wanted criminal from Argos and asks her to help him, she is thrown into a world of lies, secrets, and mysteries. After Kishentar discovers that the so-called criminal has been wrongly accused, he insists on undertaking a quest to clear their new friend's name. As she ventures across Alcardia to clear the man's name, she is forced to confront the shadows of the past and the insecurities they bring at each new turn.

Can she lay the past to rest once and for all before it destroys her and any chance they have of succeeding on their mission? Will she be able to emerge from the shadows into the light to embrace herself, scars and all, or will she remain locked in a cage of her own making?

Buy The Healer of Shadow today to uncover the painful past lurking in the shadows and a world awash with secrets, mystery, and magic.

The Healer of Alcardia trilogy is a companion series to the Children of Chaos duology by Ariel Paiement. While it is not necessary to read those two books first in order to understand this series, it is highly recommended as some events referred to in The Healer of Shadow do trace back to that series.
