;) lol
i just noticed something on the UK cover, well the blurb to be more precise.... "a band of strange men break into her cell and steal her away. They need her special magic to save their prince. The Prince who ordered the plague's first release." I am right in thinking this is wrong....Ryne never released the plague, he just pointed the finger of blame onto the healers
That's true Becky, he wasn't the one who released the plague, but he was involved enough with the plague and the consequences that the publisher could have put that in the blurb to make the book even more appealing?
no, its just wrong. he was involved with the victimisation of the healers, not the plague.....the blurb is very specific "who ordered the plagues first release" Ryne didn't order anything, all he did was make a memo public
ah well then the publisists people were wrong :P
what does it say on the back of the american/other places edition? does anyone know?
I am completely wrapped up in this book! It is amazing! I am hoping to finish this weekend!
i've got it on kindle so there's no blurb :/
lol Wendy, who's your favourite then?
Whos my favorite character? I like Kerrick and Belen! Yours?
He seems like a bad boy! well an ass anyway ;D I am not done yet so we shall see ;P

Laying hands upon the injured and dying, Avry of Kazan absorbs their wounds and diseases into herself. But rather than being honored for her skills, she is hunted. Healers like Avry are accused of spreading the plague that has decimated the Fifteen Realms, leaving the survivors in a state of chaos.
Stressed and tired from hiding, Avry is abducted by a band of rogues who, shockingly, value her gift above the golden bounty offered for her capture. Their leader, an enigmatic captor-protector with powers of his own, is unequivocal in his demands: Avry must heal a plague-stricken prince - leader of a campaign against her people. As they traverse the daunting Nine Mountains, beset by mercenaries and magical dangers, Avry must decide who is worth healing and what is worth dying for. Because the price of peace may well be her life...
hmmm...weird! ah well they must have their reasons for making the stuff on the back of the blurb in the UK wrongand thanks for posting it! :)
I like Belen most, Poppa Bear!! :P

Old cover:
New cover:
What do you think? Do you like the new AU cover better?
I love the new cover, its totally gorgeous! I think it reflects the book a lot better than the original one.
Mod
The original was a bit too...romantic and just a tad soppy. If I had seen it in a book shop I wouldn't have picked it up.
Mod
Resurrecting an old post... Has anyone listened to the audio book for this? How is the narrator? I have audible credits to use and the Healer Trilogy is looking very tempting....

I did it guys. I've convinced my sister to read Touch of Power.
Mod
Just got a text from my sister that simply read "Kerrick is a dick." I think I know which bit she's at. Hehehe
Mod
She'd better! I know. I'm thinking it might be time to do a serious reread of all MVS books
My sister has finished Touch of Power. I think we have a convert!!
