Overview

In the early 1800s, Terrain, the young deaf hero adopted by Dr. Mark Mackenzie in The Wind and the Fire, prepares to leave Frederick, Maryland, for medical school in Baltimore. Despite losing his savant-like memory, he excels in speaking and speech reading. A mysterious request pulls him into secretive assignments, sparking his skepticism about their authenticity. Law student Gideon Harkness claims these missions serve noble causes, while a prominent local figure involves Terrain in morally dubious tasks linked to mysterious potions from the infamous laboratory of Timothy Blake. Terrain balances medical studies, secret missions, and his commitment to the Tubaraé teachings, making him acutely aware of the injustices faced by enslaved and Indigenous peoples. Amid threats to his and Mark's lives, Terrain navigates love interests and becomes a skilled physician under Mark's progressive practices. This historical fantasy adventure reveals the source of mysterious potions, and explores the riddle of the howling in the woods. Set against pre-Civil War tensions, this story is perfect for fans of adventure and rich historical detail.
