The Prison Healer

The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni is a dark and gripping YA fantasy about survival, sacrifice, and secrets.

For ten years, seventeen-year-old Kiva Meridan has struggled to survive in Zalindov, a brutal death prison where she works as the healer. When the captured Rebel Queen is brought in, Kiva must keep her alive long enough to face the deadly Trial by Ordeal—four elemental challenges no one has ever survived.

When Kiva receives a secret message from her family—“Don’t let her die. We are coming.”—she risks everything by volunteering to take the queen’s place. Success means freedom for them both; failure means death.

As a plague spreads, a handsome new prisoner stirs her heart, and a rebellion brews, Kiva realizes her greatest trials are only beginning.

A must-read for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Sabaa Tahir, this is the first book in a thrilling fantasy series about courage, love, and defying fate.
