Publisher's Synopsis
War is coming. Kate Carpenter is only a peasant girl, but she's determined to help defend the kingdom and its bound saints against the invading empire. Her healing magic earned her a coveted apprenticeship with the master healer; now she must prove herself ready to stand in the front lines and save lives. She's not ready for the attentions of a ne'er-do-well knight and the kingdom's only prince, though. This is no time to be distracted by romance - the empire's monstrous army will tear through anyone standing between them and the kingdom's magical founts. All disciples must put aside their tangled feelings and stand in the homeland's defense.
