If Brie, an eighteen-year-old highborn elf girl, thought learning to be a healer and saving the elves from extinction was going to be easy, she was sorely mistaken. Her quest for knowledge frequently puts her in danger. Politics, conspiracies, muggers, rejection, murder and betrayals continue to hound Brie.
Being the adopted daughter of Princess Authiel has its advantages. A whole world of opportunities opens for Brie. She makes new friends. Romance is not a priority for her but it comes and goes and comes again, unbidden.
She continues her studies under the watchful eye of Thalion, an old wizard and attends Authiel's lectures. However, she has to juggle her schedules to study both magic and medicine. Thalion acknowledges that she has attained master's level in magic but she has a long way to go with medicine.
