Liara Vane

I only wanted to open a clinic. Really. Treat patients, drink tea, and stay far away from political conspiracies. Instead, the Council has decided my clinic is a threat. Magic is fading from the world, a duke keeps making suspiciously serious offers, a knight looks ready to follow me into the abyss, my former patient wants to be much more than that, and a half-vampire seems convinced I'm his personal source of life. And that's not even mentioning the romance that always appears at the worst possible moment—usually when the kingdom is about to fall apart. Now I must protect my clinic, uncover dangerous secrets, and decide who deserves my trust... because the future of the kingdom may depend on where I give my heart.

I'm a doctor. Not a healer. Not a witch. And definitely not a mage. After a disaster, I find myself in a world where magic cures every illness and medical knowledge is dismissed as a curiosity. Now I must prove that sometimes a scalpel, science, and common sense are more powerful than magic. Unfortunately, patients are the least of my problems. Deadly court intrigues, magical secrets, dangerous creatures, and several stubborn men who seem convinced they know what's best for me stand in my way. All I wanted was to save lives. Instead, I may have to save an entire kingdom... and somehow avoid falling in love along the way.
