Overview:
Scent of Magic is Book 2 in Maria V. Snyder's gripping Healer series, continuing the story of Avry of Kazan across the Fifteen Realms. Believed dead by friend and foe alike, Avry is the last true Healer left alive, hunted by a world that fears her power. As tyrannical King Tohon raises an undead army to conquer the realms, Avry must risk everything to stop him. This brand-new paperback delivers fast-paced YA fantasy, political intrigue, and simmering romance for fans of character-driven quests.

About the Book:
Picking up after Touch of Power, Scent of Magic finds Avry of Kazan in an impossible position: officially dead, yet still the only Healer capable of standing against King Tohon's growing menace. 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.
