There will be a battle, and you will need to protect your heart.
With the woman by his side, Kjell embarks upon a journey where the greatest test may be finding the man she believes him to be..
Armed with his unwanted gift and haunted by regret, Kjell becomes a reluctant savior, beset by old enemies and new expectations.
Called upon to rid the country of the last vestiges of the Volgar, Kjell stumbles upon a woman who has troubling glimpses of the future and no memory of the past.
Now he is a healer, one of the Gifted, and a man completely at odds with his power.
He is no longer simply Kjell of Jeru, a warrior defending the crown.
More to a man than his blade, his size, or his skills, and all that Kjell once knew has shifted and changed.
But there is more to a man than his parentage.
He was the bastard son of the late King Zoltev and a servant girl, and the ignominy of his birth had never bothered him.
He\'d never envied his brother or wanted to be king.
Kjell of Jeru had always known who he was.
