When a foreign prince suspected of multiple murders of another kingdom's royalty comes visiting your queen, you don't want to have an estranged relationship with your daughter.

That is what Marcus, Enzla's best Healer, has to deal with after finally returning home from six years of absence. It's not like he wanted to be gone for that long--he was only supposed to be gone for a year. But he's the sort of Healer who would never willingly leave in the middle of a battle. Not in the past and definitely never in the future.
