The Prison Healer

by Lynette Noni · 2021

Seventeen‑year‑old Kiva Meridan has spent a decade scraping survival in Zalindov, a notorious death‑prison where she serves as the healer. When the captured Rebel Queen, gravely ill, is slated for the deadly Trial by Ordeal—four elemental challenges that claim every participant’s life—Kiva receives a desperate coded message from her family: “Don’t let her die. We are coming.” Knowing the queen’s fate, Kiva volunteers to take her place, hoping that success will earn freedom for both. As a lethal plague spreads, a mysterious new inmate courts Kiva’s heart, and a rebellion simmers beneath the stone walls, she discovers that the true trials have only just begun. Lynette Noni delivers a dark, high‑stakes YA fantasy of sacrifice, love, and rebellion, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Sabaa Tahir.
