This was a very cute book. Osric has an incurable condition, and Aurielle is the only one who has any chance of finding a cure. The problem is that they are from different orders that are opposed, let’s say ethically. Osric is a paid killer, and Aurelle is a healer. They are forced to work together because Osric agrees to pay an exorbitant amount of money to find research for a vaccine for a pandemic affecting children. Aurielle is the best at what she does, so her order’s leader tells her to do what she can to help him. With all traditional methods proven to be unsuccessful, she must study the old ways, which, of course, puts them in tight situations. Over time, they both start to learn more about each other and that they may have more in common than they thought. I love the banter between the two of them. They are both quick and cunning. It is quite amusing. Halfway through, they start to discover that the virus causing the pandemic might not have been an accident, and someone powerful is behind it, but who? That is the mystery for the next book, which I don’t think has been released yet. I am very interested in seeing how this will end and maybe get a little more than just a kiss between our new lovebirds.
