Book excerpt: When Nadia Soulwinsky went into the nearby forest one day, she was busy picking fresh medicinal herbs and wasn't expecting to encounter two strangers there, who claimed they desperately needed her help. Did they really need her help? Why were they there, in the middle of the woods, wearing cloaks in the middle of a sunny day in late spring, carrying a very large bag with them? When things went downhill and Nadia didn't know what to do anymore, her dear friend Damon Ravenhall showed up just in time to help her. Unfortunately, he paid a price for getting involved in the situation and ended up gravely wounded. Left with no choice, Nadia found a safe place in the forest where she will have to use limited resources and all her medical knowledge in order to save Damon's life, for if Damon dies because of her, she would never be able to forgive herself.
