When his convoy is attacked, Journeyman Knight Darian is entrusted with an ancient scroll and one mission: Return the scroll to his Brethren at the High Temple in Hawthan, no matter the cost. He never expected to stumble onto the last healer in the world.

This one had such an interesting premise — a priestess of life and a knight of death forced together by fate? Yes, please. The setup promised an epic fantasy adventure full of magic, danger, and maybe even a touch of romance.
While the world-building had potential and a few moments really stood out, I struggled to stay fully invested. The pacing felt uneven, and some of the emotional beats that should've hit hard didn't quite land for me. Still, I appreciated the unique concept and the tension between the two main characters — it just didn't completely capture that spark I was hoping for.
A solid read for fans of classic fantasy quests with light romantic undertones, but it didn't quite reach the level of "can't put it down" for me.
