The Healer of the Empire (Book 1): A Portal Progression Fantasy Series
He died a surgeon. He was reborn a healer.
In my old world, I was a brilliant surgeon. Now, I’m Ilya Razumovsky—an unknown healer adept with no money to my name and barely any magic, stranded in an alternate Russian Empire where healers perform miracles using the power of the "Spark."
My only advantages are the medical knowledge from my past life and a strange gift called "Sonar." Oh, and a talking chipmunk familiar with a horrible personality who has somehow decided I’m his chosen one.
I may be working on an ambulance crew alongside an alcoholic partner, constantly navigating the distrust and schemes of my colleagues, but not everyone gets a second chance—and I intend to make the most of mine.
Because being a true healer is a calling, not just a rank in the Healers’ Guild.
The Healer of the Empire is Book 1 of a new portal fantasy series. Magical healing, noble intrigue, and a brilliant surgeon whose modern medical knowledge could change an entire empire. Join Ilya Razumovsky as he begins his second life in a world where healing is powered by magic.

My reviews are my own. If you enjoyed this book, I'm glad you did. If not, I respect your opinion, so please respect mine. This is simply my perspective, so let's keep the discussion courteous. As a reader, I read to escape and my reviews reflect that.
This one was good until they introduced the petty annoying squirrel. Then they start with the chauvinistic mentality that most of the Russians writers have where males are better than females and the only value is to serve them as partners. Not for me, this close mentality get on my nerves.
Onward and forward to my next adventure. Happy reading!!!

Enjoyable Read
It's definitely fantasy, but enjoyable light reading. Interesting concept. Seems too short for a book. You just get into it and it's over.
