Touch of Power by Maria V. Snyder — book slip

Avry of Kazan possesses the rare ability to heal by taking on the injuries and diseases of others, a gift that should be revered but instead makes her a target.

In a world ravaged by a deadly plague, healers like Avry are blamed for the devastation. On the run and weary from hiding, she is captured by a group of rogues who value her abilities.

Their leader, a mysterious and powerful man, demands that she heal a plague-stricken prince, the very man who led the campaign against her people.

As they journey through the perilous Nine Mountains, Avry must navigate mercenaries, magical threats, and her own heart to decide who is worth saving and what is worth sacrificing.

First in the Healer series by Maria V. Snyder.
