Healing is magic, and magic is a crime. But now the rules have been broken.

Forbidden Healing is an action-packed, page-turning YA Fantasy read, that features dark secrets, plot twists and compelling characters, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Mary Weber and Laini Taylor.

Kyla Tarthwen longs to join the ranks of the religious elite, the God-Sage’s Sacred Core. But Kyla has a secret that could kill her. When an acolyte is murdered during Kyla’s initiation, Kyla fears she is next. Can she prove her allegiance to the God-Sage and do what it takes to secure her place in the Sacred Core, before her secret is exposed?

Marlowe Tide is grieving the deaths of his parents, executed as traitors to the God-Sage. Only his sister survives, and he is desperate to keep her safe. But Valora is a healer, and healing is a crime. She ought to be dead already. When Kyla Tarthwen arrives at Marlowe’s door on a mission for the God-Sage, can Marlowe save his sister?

When Marlowe and Kyla meet, events take place that will change the course of both their lives. If they don’t kill each other first.

Forbidden Healing is the first book in the thrilling series Chronicles of the God-Sage. Prepare for a wild ride, full of magical creatures and dark secrets.

One lesson I learned reading this book is I should not read synopsis because I build a world in my head and then I'm slightly disappointed when the author did not build the same world 😅

Startint the book I really wanted to like it. I expected the meeting between M & K to be a lot earlier than it was. I was expecting something more wow, but I'm still not completely disappointed. For a debut book it's very good. Interesting concept, especially the "religious zealots" part. I also liked that the transitions between M & K's POVs were smooth and it made the book easy to read.

A bit of a slow burn. Not much happens but it's a good world build. The climax is at the end, but it does provide a lot to look forward to. You don't need action packed book with twists in every chapter.
