Synopsis

Gabrielle is a bonemender of extraordinary talent. Between her work as a healer and her duties as one of the royal family of Verdeau, her life is busy, comfortable and predictable—until the day a stranger arrives at her gate, desperately seeking help for his injured friend. To Gabrielle's wonder, they are Elves, a people not seen in Verdeau in many years. And they bring news of a coming invasion that threatens the freedom of the entire Krylian basin, human and Elvish alike

Is The Bonemender appropriate for my child?

Suitable for most readers 13 and up.

A gentle fantasy with moderate battle violence as war threatens the kingdom. Romance is sweet and fade-to-black appropriate, with cross-species (human/elf) relationship themes.
