The magic to save lives - it's what everyone would kill for. For Adrian Corbin, not every case begins with fighting pyromancers or crawling through catacombs of terror. Sometimes it's safeguarding one budding magician and his friends. One who holds the secret of healing. No magic could be more precious, for Adrian's mission to make up for the lives he's cost, or for the forces that begin to stir at the rumors of this new power. Protecting a healer means being ready for anything - even the petty grudges and lies that could send his charges running straight into the grasp of the flame-throwing Duvals. Or the crime bosses that have begun to notice his work. Or the woman who turned his life upside down. To save a healer... Adrian Corbin knows how many people could die.
