A sequel to 'Wounds All Heals' - Leeik Farspell, apprentice healer to an Arrow of the secret Quiver, is once again on the move. It's his birthday, but instead of presents, he's been sent on his first solo mission. Things go off the tracks almost immediately: instead of just finding a sick king in danger of being overthrown by his brother, he finds an old friend on death's doorstep, bringing news of possibly more trouble than Lee can handle. It turns out that power-hungry uncles and possibly-poisoned kings are not longer his only worry: it seems that one of the oldest members of the Quiver has gone rogue. The worst part? She's an assassin, and has been practicing her trade for centuries. It might take more tricks than Leeik has to get out of this one alive...
