This is a prequel short story that can be read before or after The Clockwork Dagger. The story introduces the main character from the first book as a healer with great talents and her teacher that constantly fights with herself over the envy of Octavia’s gift and her disbelief over the younger healer’s faith in the Lady. The story is good and tight and you are not scratching your head wondering what you are missing.
