Naida is living a lie.
*
A peerless battlefield surgeon. A talisman for the army. A symbol of
hope in an impossible, grinding war.*
*
A fraud.*
*
Society, led by the queen, has long held that the Esselrode people and
their abilities are inherently, irredeemably evil, a truth which Naida
has been brought up to believe. But as one of them, feeling compelled to
use her powers again and again to heal those on the brink of death, it's
hard to accept. It's even harder to live a lie, conflicted about her
hidden identity, when the truth could save lives.*
*
Taken from the battlefield where she thrives to a court where her life
hangs ever more precariously in the balance, Naida is about to learn
that there are even greater secrets, and conspiracies, afoot . . . and
that her dangerous truth could change the course of a nation . . .*
