Snyder's gripping Healer series, continuing the story of Avry of Kazan across the Fifteen Realms.

Determined to prevent Tohon from raising an unstoppable undead army, Avry chooses to remain hidden in plain sight, aiding the resistance while her partner Kerrick returns home to rally his country to war. Separated from those she loves, Avry must rely on her wits, her healing gift, and a found family of unlikely allies to survive. The novel weaves battle sequences with quieter, character-driven moments, building a vivid, dangerous version of the Fifteen Realms filled with shifting alliances, hidden sanctuaries, and grim marching armies. Snyder balances high-stakes plotting with emotional depth, exploring themes of identity, sacrifice, and the price of power, while keeping Avry's determination and dry wit at the story's heart. Long-time fans will appreciate the deepening mythology and evolving relationships, while new readers will find enough context to be swept into the world's magic system and political stakes. Whether read as a continuation or picked up fresh, Scent of Magic delivers the tension, romance, and moral complexity that have made the author a New York Times bestseller, setting the stage for the trilogy's dramatic conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 2 in the acclaimed Healer series by New York Times bestselling author Maria V.

When Avry breaks her own rule and uses her forbidden magic to save a dying child, she is condemned to the guillotine. Rescue comes from an unexpected source: a band of rogues who need her unique gift for a desperate mission. Their prince is dying, and only Avry's touch can save him - except he is the very man responsible for unleashing the plague that destroyed her home and family. Forced into an impossible alliance, Avry must decide whether saving one life is worth risking everything she has left. Snyder builds a vivid, dangerous world where magic carries real cost, and every act of healing takes something from the healer in return. The narrative moves quickly between tense escapes, uneasy alliances and moments of genuine emotional weight, as Avry wrestles with grief, duty and the pull of an enemy she cannot simply hate. Themes of sacrifice, power and redemption run throughout. Readers who enjoy character-driven fantasy with strong heroines and political tension will find plenty to love here, and this opening instalment sets up a world compelling enough to carry readers straight into the sequels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGripping opening to Maria V.
