This story had me on the hook from the beginning.

When Nhika is taken by some thugs and sold for her abilities to heal, she must help a rich family figure out who their father's murderer. But not everyone is who them seem they are.

This book had me guessing who did it the whole time while also intersecting a beautiful story about accepting your gifts, found family, and dared to dream for a better life.

Can't wait for book 2.
