Hela is the daughter of a man who sells slaves. As a child, she frequently accompanies him to the souk. An untrained empath, she ‘knows’ who will pay more, who will pay less, and sometimes where the salve should go or not go, and is able to convey the information to her father. Until an old and misshapen crone is sold off, and gives her a red cup. A magical cup. Hela is so shaken by the experience, she no longer attends her father, and instead, learns the healing arts from her mother. During which time, she discovers the magical properties of the cup, and at one point, tries to use it to her own use to disastrous consequences. For every action, there is an opposing reaction.
This is a lead-in to a series, which I have not yet read. The author covers many years, in a short period of time, and I assume we really don’t need the info in the lost years to dive into the series. I gather the books are about different women, and the last book will tie it all together. It should be an exciting and fun read to go through the series.
