On leaving the Emperor's army, General Nate Kirin has turned saddle-back merchant, to help keep the family business running. While seeking out Ms. McLeighan's healing help for his ailing aunt, the two nearly collide when a young boy calls her away to aide in his mother's complicated birthing.
While on route to the labouring woman, enemy rovers cross into local territory, waylaying Darya's efforts to reach her patient. Weaponless, Nate rushes to Ms. McLeighan's rescue, wherein he finds himself in a situation where everyone needs a little help... and a little healing.
