"Your insecurity collided with his weakness. He was compelled to rescue you from it, and you could do naught but heal his pain. The culmination of both your strengths and weaknesses proved your undoing..." Redemption's Grace

TIRZAHWhen I left my life as an assistant healer, my sole aim was to escape my brother's unkindness by securing a good marriage with a nobleman. However, instead of finding a husband, I unmask a traitor within the queen's court and become embroiled in a scandal.
Disenchanted, I feel relieved to return to my quiet life of service in a secluded corner of the kingdom. To my utter dismay, everything I struggled to build is in shambles. I am forced to accept help from an unlikely source, which proves to be a mistake. I lament ever trusting the misplaced intentions of a silver-tongued spymaster.
Sitting in the ruins of my life, I tuck away the shattered pieces of my foolish heart. To survive, I must complete my education as a healer, but how can I move forward when my every step results in disaster?
TRENTBetrayal was not my due. I have dedicated my life to routing corruption, yet somehow I find myself courting it. Embittered by the world of shadows, I seek a peaceful haven to contend with my conflicting desires. In so doing, I make myself the champion of a beautiful woman. The warmth of her friendship proves the tonic I need. If only my advent in her life could have been a blessing instead of becoming her bane.
Though I would give my life to protect the women entrusted to my care, when I am thrust into the role of their rescuer, my failures become the source of their misery.
Will righting one grievous wrong assuage the guilt feasting on my conscience, or will the curse of my worst failures crush me beneath their weight?
