This is the third book of Bron and Calea.
Previously, in The Doctor’s Assistant, Bron and Calea arrived at the Medical Sanctuary in Averieom in search of a non-magic-powered arm and leg for Calea. They were disappointed to discover Averieom’s magic Well was as empty as Jalseion’s. Nervous Dr. Burdock, the only doctor who didn’t take his services to Jalseion in the wake of the Cataclysm, tried to help them the best he could but ended up suggesting they find the young Sanctuary assistant, Nyasha Cormorin, who had picked up some tricks of the trade. Bron dug Nyasha out of the remains of her home, fallen during the Cataclysm, and devastated though she was by the loss of her parents in the destruction, she helped fit Calea with rudimentary prosthetics.
Calea insisted she and Bron travel on to Thyrion in the hopes of finding magic there. Nyasha offered to guide them across the mountains, buying her way into their twosome with food supplies, and the three set off on a supposedly two-week journey. Along the way, Bron mysteriously managed to find shelter for them in times of dire need. Also, Bron’s fighting skills came in handy when they got waylaid by bandits. When they finally got to Thyrion a week later than planned, they discovered that Thyrion, too, had lost its magic, and Calea’s spirit broke.
Now, they are headed into Thyrion to find a respite from their travels and discover what news they can. To see what’s been happening in Thyrion and other parts of the world, see the parallel storyline that begins with The Fall of the House of Kyzer and continues in The Rules Change.
