The Healers' Tale

Part of a series, but can also be read as a standalone novel.
Petiria and Raiah are two healers from the House of ‎Healing in Tasivan, Dawpenel, who have travelled all ‎the way to Nava doing research into healing methods ‎outside of the Houses of Healing. ‎
The two women have no relation whatsoever to Niari, ‎Carlitha or any other of the Companions, unless you ‎count the fact that Pet was one of the healers who ‎worked on Rozvin when she was wounded. All they ‎really know about them comes from the songs and ‎stories of their exploits that they’ve heard from time ‎to time.‎
But when, on their way home to Dawpenel, they and ‎their escort of three Cazovanian priests decide to take ‎a short side trip to look at a ruined city near the border ‎with Falodirian, all that changes. An overheard ‎conversation places the two women in possession of ‎vital information; information that could spell life or ‎death for Niari, Carlitha, Keladryn, Tassi and others.‎
It is critical that the five travellers get this information ‎to the people who can use it in time. But first, there’s ‎the small matter of escaping from the forest they’re ‎trapped in and the search parties hunting them.‎
Meanwhile, in the realm of the gods, Kerelline is not ‎pleased that Warin is using her ladies to further the ‎Plan, especially when she finds out that their ‎participation may cost them their lives. Warin and ‎Cazovania are afraid that she may interfere. The ‎trouble is that if she does, she will give Elithim a free ‎hand. That will not only doom the fugitives to almost ‎certain death, it will also mean that their warning ‎doesn’t get through. Kerelline’s meddling could cost ‎all of them more than she could possibly imagine.‎
