Warsworn (The Chronicles of the Warlands, Book 2)

A powerful healer, she has sworn an oath of loyalty to Keir the Warlord, and his people. Now the Warlord and his chosen mate face enemies within the tribe and danger lurks on every hand as they journey toward Keir's homeland. When they reach a village marked with the warnings of the plague. Keir forbids Lara to heal the sick, commanding that she not risk her own life. But both Lara and Keir are strong of will and neither will bend easily, even for love, and when Lara disobeys, she pays the price: both she and Keir are plague-struck... and so is their entire encampment. In the midst of the dying, Iften, a rival warrior, gathers his followers and challenges Keir for the right to rule their tribe. If Keir, weakened by the sickness, loses- he dies. And so does Lara. To save her love, her life, and her adopted people, Lara must find a cure for the plague-and fully embrace her sworn role as Warprize to her warlord.
