The clouds of war hang heavy over Rohan, stealing the life away from the once-proud people. With the dead and injured crowding the House of Healing, Eyrell-the clinic's overseer-chooses to brave the dangerous task of traveling abroad to replenish the medicines her people need. Along the way, she stumbles into a world that is bigger, darker, and more dangerous than she even knew, and a perilous quest that may decide the fate of Middle-Earth itself. Amidst the struggle of battle, survival, morality, and the increasingly difficult task of keeping her companions alive, Eyrell also deals with a growing love for the brave and steadfast Captain of Gondor...and a terrible gift that can only lead to heartbreak. How much death and grief can the healer, as determined as she is gentle, take before she loses all hope?
