Only a magical healer from an enemy land has the skill to save his royal household, but Kuramos never imagined the healer ... more »would be a woman.
Healer Varene finds her own surprises in Kad. She expects the sultan's arrogance, but not his courage or his selfless care of the ill--or the possibility that the epidemic is the curse of a vengeful goddess.
Kuramos's culture condemns Varene's mystical talents. Her presence triggers an insurrection, yet as he and the healer toil for a cure, he loses his heart to her. She falls for him as well, but how can she relinquish her homeland and her principles--especially when he already has a harem and his family may be cursed?
