Three hundred years ago, in the Empire of Elarion, the Goddess of Resentment cursed humanity for the crime of forgetting her. The curse manifests as a plague that no conventional medicine can cure, and the only remedy is the divine healing power passed down through a single bloodline. When the last healer of that bloodline dies, the Empire faces extinction. Enter the substitute -- a young man with no divine lineage, no formal training, and no desire to be a hero. He possesses a fraction of the healing power, barely enough to ease symptoms let alone break a centuries-old curse. But he is the Empire's only option, and the pressure to perform is crushing. As the substitute healer struggles to fill shoes too large for him, he forms an unlikely alliance with a warrior whose loyalty to the Empire is matched only by his growing attachment to the healer. Together, they search for the source of the curse, battle the Goddess's minions, and discover that the substitute's power, while different from the original healer's, may be exactly what the Empire needs. The healer who was never supposed to exist becomes the one person capable of breaking a god's wrath, not through divine power but through the stubborn refusal to let the people he loves die.
