The healer saved them. Now every life he protects belongs to the cure.
New to Reign of the Fallen? Begin with The Healer’s Oath.
Dregner Relk has turned a conquered fortress into a sanctuary. The desperate are fed, the sick are treated, and his miraculous remedy keeps the plague at bay.
But every dose tightens the leash.
The Pilgrim’s Cure continues Reign of the Fallen in Book Two, as mercy becomes rationing, obedience—and control.
Continue chapter oneThe first light found Dregner on the walls.
He'd been awake an hour already, boots on stone that still held the night's cold. He watched the treeline sharpen from black mass to individual trunks as the sky bled from grey to pale copper. The fortress sat high on the ridge where Manton Kilker had built it. Dregner had thrown his corpse from the balcony. It was iron-seamed rock and timber ramparts, the mine shafts running deep beneath. Three weeks since the last body had been carried out. Three weeks since the last attack. The longest stretch of peace any of them had known.
