The world building is solid and the characters are fun to read about. During this time, Avery begins to trust and be trusted by most of the band but is both enraged by and drawn to the domineering and mysterious Kerrick. Avery has her own reasons to want the Prince dead and she and the band's leader, Kerrick, have a battle of wills over the prince's fate as they make the long journey to where he is being kept in stasis. To the best of her knowledge, Avery is the last surviving Healer.Īvery is rescued/kidnapped by a group of people who want her to heal their Prince, who is dying of the plague. They were blamed for the plague, hunted down, and killed. When a plague struck the Fifteen Realms, killing millions of people, the Healers were unable to treat it without dying. When she does this, her own body takes on the illness or wounds of the sick or injured person, but because Healers are able to recover at a much faster rate than other people, they are usually (but not always) able to survive the process. She is a Healer, a woman who is able to heal people by touching them. As a romance, or even as a fantasy novel with romantic elements, it goes horribly wrong. As a fantasy novel in general, Touch of Power is great.
