Aelle enters the Recruitment as a powerful Healer just coming into her craft. She knows that one day, A-13's rifle will be aimed at her heart. Will it hurt when the silver bullet burns her to Ash? Will her friends be okay after she is gone? Joleigha, a capable and beautiful Mage, has fallen hopelessly in love with A-13. Zeta, fierce and determined, has put A-13 on her personal Kill List.

I wasn’t prepared for how intense this story would feel. The Mage Scrolls: Gift of Healer carries a constant sense of dread that never fully lifts, and it makes every quiet moment ache. Watching Aelle step into a world designed to erase her was heartbreaking, and the friendships she forms are the only light in an otherwise merciless system. I felt the fear, the anger, and the desperate hope right alongside these characters. This book doesn’t soften its edges or promise safety, and that’s exactly what makes it so powerful. It’s dark, emotional fantasy that lingers long after the final page.

One of the most amazing dystopian fantasy books out there. If you like Fourth Wing, give this book a try! It compares to Fourth Wing and Divergent. And I am in love! Aelle is such a sweet, gentle heroine who is learning her place in an unforgiving world. A-13 is a morally gray hero, who you will absolutely fall in love with. Four and Xaden have nothing on him. I cannot wait for the next book!
