How does a heart brimming with compassion turn to flaming stone?
My name is Irina.

From my earliest memories, my heart longed to follow the path of my parents, to become a healer and give myself to the service of others. When I manifested a Gift, the rare touch of magic, everyone knew I would be special, that I would change the world.
I trained and studied. My life was meant to be a salve to those who suffered.
And then they came.
Everything I loved, everything I dreamed, everything I ever dared to hope was torn from my grasp.
They will pay.
If I must conquer this land to find them, they will writhe beneath my heel.
If it takes a thousand years, they will know my wrath.

A Healer’s Wrath is Irina’s story, a tale from a thousand years ago, when legends rose and borders fell. It is the prequel to An Archer’s Awakening, the first book in bestselling author Casey Morales’s mm romantacy series, Of Crowns & Quills.

Please note: While the series features a heartwarming, slow-burn mm romance, this is Irina’s story, how she rose to fame and became the powerful enemy who threatens all in the core series. There are no mm romance storylines in Irina’s tale.
