Nearly burned alive by his own people, the main character of this story finds himself covered in #scartissue, being cared for by the people he always considered enemies.

This is a book that I read over and over, a good book to read when I'm having a rough time. A fantasy world where doing the right thing is valued and good characters make the best choices they can, this is the kind of fantasy that I fell in love with and enjoy reading the most. 5/5 stars
