The second daughter of Sarnia's King, Princess Aretha was born with a cursed gift, the ability to heal the wounded and dying with the touch of her bare hands, but it comes with a heavy price. Each time she heals someone, her lifespan decreases by days. How many, she'll never know. But the bright glowing necklace she wears around her neck will extinguish it's brilliant light when her time comes. One night when Keturah is out riding secretly with her friend, she sees something she should never had-- something that told her the truth of the life she was raised in. A family is killed unjustly by Sarnia's soldiers. Only days later, the news of a nearby plague reaches the country of Sarnia. The epidemic was something that was far away, only touching the neighbouring countries, but suddenly it's so close, infecting millions. Knowing the reality of the outside world and injustice that Sarnia does to its inhabitants, Princess Keturah is determined to put a stop to it all. But the plague is something she has no control over-- or does she? Keturah must find a way to stop the horrifying injustice she sees, protect those she loves, and ultimately, avoid her own death.K
