The Bonemender's Oath
"None of them noticed when Tarkhet fell back from the fray and pulled his knife. To Gabrielle it seemed rather that the blade burst from beneath her skin, some disastrous, inexplicable rupture of her own body. She had fallen back against the cliff-face before she knew what was wrong with her. It was her hands, instinctively clutching the hurt place, that discovered a knife-hilt jutting from under her sternum. Tarkhet had thrown it at the exposed sweep of her body while she stretched up to block that last bow."
In this highly anticipated sequel to The Bonemender, Holly Bennett continues half-Elf Gabrielle’s story. Although the war is over, Gabrielle’s oath as a bonemender takes new importance in her struggle for survival. Unexpected danger comes too close for comfort, and entangles not only Gabrielle but Féolan, the Elf with whom she has fallen in love. Meanwhile, Gabrielle’s brother Tristan is caught in a battle for his love Rosalie, a lady whose spurned suitor Pierre LaBarque is determined to have her no matter what. Readers will be pleased to see the return of characters such as Derkh, whom Gabrielle saved in the war, and thrilled to embark on another fantastical adventure in The Bonemender’s Oath.
