An epic fantasy adventure about friendship and doing what's right, even when it hurts For nineteen years, Mariah has known one life—working in her father's smithy, lying about the hunch on her back, and hiding from the world. In the land of Whitelea, the gods have given certain people the power to change form from human to animal. It's a power that the king covets almost as much as he does the surrounding kingdoms, so what would happen if the village folk find out that Mariah isn’t deformed but instead has wings? Worse yet, what if the king's soldiers find out? Mariah hopes she'll never know the answer. But in a single morning, everything will change. A bit like the Lord of the Rings, a bit like Jeff Wheeler’s Kingfountain Series, and a bit like Percy Jackson with a touch of Mercy Thompson thrown in. If you love these books, you'll love Raven Thrall.

Is baby Shira blessed or cursed? If the king takes her before she has a chance to fulfill her destiny, no one may ever know. Since disease stole her mother at a young age, Rose Caden has longed to become a healer. Juggling her family, her work, and her studies on the edge of a blade, she’s almost made it. But her life is transformed in one night when her daughter’s magic—forbidden magic—reveals itself. When even her mentors refuse to aid her, Rose must find a solution or risk losing her daughter forever. ——— Note from the Author Healer’s Sacrifice takes place approximately sixteen years before the prologue of Raven Thrall and tells the story of Shira Caden’s mother, Rose. It is not an essential part of the overall arc of the Legends of the Ceo San series but instead contains a little bit extra, a peek into Shira’s early life if you will. Healer’s Sacrifice is intended to be read after Raven Thrall. However, it contains only one minor spoiler for the novel and could safely be read before that book or on its own.
