The Healer and the Huntsman

The Order of the Fountain #5 / 7
by Sarah Beran
The Healer and the Huntsman (The Order of the Fountain #5) by Sarah Beran
Unrated

A dying country. An evil queen. A hidden princess. A man without a past.

Fiona Garnette, the castle healer in Vespara’s capital city of Derkar, wants nothing more than to spend her life caring for the people of her beloved homeland. However, after nearly a century under the rule of an evil and power-hungry queen, that task is not nearly as simple as it should be. Queen Morrigan’s use of dark magic and rejection of the Creator has left Vespara dying, slowly draining both the people and land of health and resources. The heir to the throne lays sleeping under a curse in a tall, forgotten tower and Fiona despairs of finding a way to wake her. To make matters even more complicated, Fiona has a secret she must guard from everyone–especially the queen.

Her life depends upon it.

Then an injured foreigner is found wandering the woods near the castle. The man–known only as the Huntsman–has no memory of his past life or how he came to cross the border from Montaigne. His arrival sets off a chain of events destined to change the course of Vespara forever.

Lives are in danger and secrets are revealed. When faced with a darkness nearly a century in the making, will one healer be enough to restore life to an entire country?

Trigger warning: The Healer and the Huntsman contains mention of both spouse and infant loss.

*While this is a standalone in the series and can be read on its own, the story is best read in sequence, as it contains spoilers for previous books.*
