(4) YA Eighteen-year-old Gabriel is not only a gifted healer, but, unbeknownst to him, he is destined to break through the corruption rotting the Empire and to save the Shinali, a native people under oppression. Although set in a fully realized fantasy world, the novel is closer to a romance in tone--especially after Gabriel falls in love with a Shinali woman. Despite the overwritten prose, teens who like both fantasy and love stories will fall hard for this one.
