The Lowest Healer and the Highest Mage

"I never forgot the sound of you calling for me. Not for a second."

The Lowest Healer and the Highest Mage is a slow-burn f/f romance set in an original modern-era fantasy world, featuring a magical tower with countless curious rooms. It's a story of friends to enemies to reluctant allies, guilty secrets, love mixed inextricably with hate, fragile second chances, and the true price of boundless magical power.

In a country where mages have all the power and healers supposedly only exist to support them, Clematis-a talented healer-is despised for her past attempts to defy the mageocracy. In her early thirties, she's already on year seven of a life sentence for treason.

But when the most powerful mage in the nation suddenly loses all her magic, the government wants unconventional Clematis to help get it back.

The mage is a tall, distant woman called Wist, and Clematis knows her all too well. They used to be classmates. Best friends. Perhaps more. Wist is also the person who reported Clematis for leaking state secrets. She's the reason Clematis spent the last seven years in prison.

Clematis wants revenge for her betrayal, but she wants freedom even more. She's got thirty days to recover Wist's magic: miss the deadline, and she'll be shunted back to prison for the rest of her life. Yet attempting to resurrect Wist's lost magic will force her to face the real reason why Wist betrayed her-and to face her unresolved, unspoken feelings for the mage who stabbed her in the back and walked away.
