By the Oath

Healers take an Oath to save lives. And they live by that Oath. Until they don't. Lista has studied to be a healer for years, but she still has so much to learn. Earth has changed radically since the Old Times, and there's no such thing as modern medicine. People aren't at the top of the food chain anymore, either. Maulings, bite wounds, even attacks by predatory plants are the norm. Never mind forest pox and sand sickness. No wonder Lista's worried when she's asked to travel to a nearby village to treat a sick woman. But maybe the woman isn't really that ill. And maybe no one else will get sick or injured while she's there. As for love, well, that's the last thing on Lista's mind. Because all she wants to do is treat the woman and get back home...without accidentally killing someone. But nothing in Lista's world is ever that simple...
