About this ebook

After many harvests, revenge is sweet. The man who destroyed her family is dead. But sometimes revenge comes with a price. As a new general rises from obscurity to lead the Royal Army against the Daughter of the Grey-Eyed Murderer in retaliation for her deed, she wonders how she and the peasant army once trained by her now dead father will survive. After losing her family she has found a new one in the healer’s guard. Will her drive to vengeance take them from her as well? Sometimes all must be lost for hope to be found. All options exhausted for the way to become clear. Some wait to be chosen, while others make the choice.

In Book 2 of the Healer’s Creed Series:

The virtuous healer battles demons even he may never overcome.

The farmer turned guard comes face to face with his tormenting past as it attempts to repeat itself.

The revolutionary's daughter starts to question where her loyalties should lie.

War ravages the hillsides.

New love is forged in fire and blood.

A vision reveals the Successor to the assassinated king who may never claim the throne.

Author

Loren Elias

I am a city dweller living in the Southern United States who often dreams, as many of us do,of times when you would ride two weeks on horseback to get to the next city, news spread upon the lips of a bard, and your life could be snuffed out at any time by an offended mage.I am a student of world religion, philosophy, linguistics and history; a practitioner of martial arts and a dabbler in alternative medicines.I come from a long line of Healers. Nurses, Doctors, and Pharmacists(once called witches) are among my ancestors so my current project, The Healer's Creed Series, while set in fantasy-based medieval times, is both a tribute to the healing arts and an allegory of sorts for the contradictions that plague a Healer as he strives to uphold the creed to which he has sworn himself in modern times.From the Hippocratic Oath:... I will keep them from harm and injustice.I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work...What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself holding such things shameful to be spoken about.If I fulfill this path and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely. may the opposite of all this be my lot. End.
