After testing his conscience in the desert, the young Taphe Berian is eager to return home to Rowan Band, completing his coming-of-age journey and earning acceptance as a full-fledged healer. Yet as an incurable illness sweeps through the forest, his past mistakes continue to plague his path, thorning his attempts at healing with whispers of divine judgment.

Desperate to save his people and clear his name, Berian leaves home again to seek out a cure—though the secret of healing, and the seeds of a far more perilous plague, may be rooted closer to home.
