Salya is a Traveler, and as she’s approaching adulthood, she’s feeling the pressure to devote herself to the healing trade of her grandmother. It’s a very serious thing among her people –a true vocation. But she’s not quite sure she’s ready for it.
One night, an injured man stumbles upon their camp. Bren is a spy for the neighboring kingdom, desperate to get back to his country with news of an attempt on the life of his queen. Salya ends up leaving with him to get him back to his home safely. Along the way, she sees more of the world than she ever thought possible, and learns more about her family than she’d known before.
This book is ok – the world building is decent, but it seems unfinished somehow. Salya does have a complete journey, but I don’t know – I’ve just read better, more well rounded stories like this. It has potential, but I want a little more.
