Life has not been kind to Zenos. He was born in the favelas and his poor background denied him almost all opportunities. After an encounter with a healer, he dedicates himself to studying to become one and finally gets a break when an adventurer invites Zenos to his group. Zenos is moved – so moved, in fact, that he is willing to tolerate his companions treating him like dirt. They fail to appreciate his talents and end up pushing him away, claiming that he is no longer useful to them.
Now with no money and no options, Zenos decides to use his self-taught skills elsewhere and opens a clandestine clinic. Word spreads quickly about the brilliant healer working incredible magic on the city’s underbelly. Even the royal palace is paying attention…
Can Zenos overcome the odds and make a life for himself in a world that has done nothing but spit in his face? And can he save the lives of the patients who end up on his doorstep in the process?
