The Last Bloodcarver by Vanessa Le
5.0

Nhika has a rare magical healing gift... too bad if anyone finds out it would lead to disaster for her. Which is exactly what happens when one small kindness ends with her captured and being auctioned off. Her luck seemingly changes when she’s purchased by a young woman who promises her freedom in exchange for healing someone who may have witnessed a murder. Reluctantly she agrees to help and along the way she might feel a sense of belonging amongst her new friends. But she’s warned away repeatedly by her new nemesis a young physician’s assistant, who is not what he seems. When succeeding at her task puts her in a difficult position Nhika is forced to make hard choices.

It’s a story about loss, belonging, secrets and betrayal...

I absolutely loved this book and need the next one already because I need to know what happens next. Knowing it’s a duology I knew it would likely end on a cliffhanger but that of course only makes me want the 2nd book even more. I loved Nhika and the lore and culture around her ability was fascinating. And really I just can’t wait for more.
