... in which Avry, a young healer, runs from bounty hunters, gets herself captured, falls in love, and faces an impossible choice.
This review is of a digital copy provided to me by the publisher via NetGalley.
Touch of Power follows the adventures of Avry, a 20-year-old woman with special healing abilities. Unfortunately for her, healers in her world have been hunted down and executed, since everyone else blames them for the plague that killed the majority of the population a few years earlier. One night, as Avry sits in a cell awaiting execution, a man named Kerrick breaks her out. The catch? Avry must travel with Kerrick to heal a prince, who is possibly the world's only chance for lasting peace. However, healers can't heal the plague like they can with ordinary diseases and injuries; the healer who takes the plague from another will sicken and die, and the man that Kerrick wants Avry to heal was partially responsible for the slaughter of all the healers Avry knew. As Avry travels with Kerrick, she must decide if she wants to save the prince, while also avoiding capture from bounty hunters.
