"I never thought I would be the one to hurt you like this."

The Reverse Healer Case Files picks up right where The Lowest Healer and the Highest Mage left off, delving ever deeper into Clematis and Wist's tangled relationship and the complex, modern-era fantasy world that surrounds them. It's a direct sequel with more slow-burn f/f romance. More mystery. More enemies. More tender moments and more pain. And much more magebreaking.

Mages rule the country. Healers are legally required to serve them. As a rebellious-minded healer, Clematis loathes the mageocracy. She only makes an exception for her own mage, Wist, who is difficult to read yet deeply devoted-and who just so happens to be the most powerful magic-user in the entire world.

With Wist there to back her up, Clematis discovers new ways to furtively help desperate healers. Yet though Wist's magic remains in high demand, she's still far weaker than she used to be. And her self-sacrificial instincts soon threaten to put her in direct opposition to Clematis.

So much for living quietly. Clematis can't use magic. She can't even throw a solid punch. Her only weapons are her wits and dirty tricks. But she'll fight tooth and nail to defend her happy ending. She'll keep fighting no matter who stands in her way-be it Wist's ultra-influential family of mages, international spies and assassins, or even Wist herself.
