Healing The Beastworld
Poisoned and abandoned by a trusted friend, Karee awakens in a strange new world, teeming with shapeshifting beastmen and primal laws. As she grapples with her new reality, she discovers a deadly illness plaguing the beastmen. Can her knowledge of herbology heal this mysterious land, or will she, too, succumb to its dangers?
