Touch of Salar — Alexis Duran

In a world ruled by tyrannical kings and fickle gods, the young monk M'lan finds himself at the center of royal intrigue as his healing powers attract the attention of his superiors. When he learns the handsome warrior whose body he's tending to is not only a noble, but a king's assassin, any attachment to him might prove fatal. Despite the danger, he can't stop himself from falling in love. Can he risk the abandonof passion when a slip of the tongue might force his lover to execute him?



Major Jamil Jarka comes to the temple with one intention -- heal his wounds so he can return to the fight against the rebellion. When the monk assigned to him turns out to be stunningly attractive, he sees this as a pleasant distraction, no more. But soon he finds himself becoming obsessed withM'lan and is torn between the fear of betrayal and the lure of love.



Sinister forces strive to turn the monk and the warrior against each other -- a conflict neither will survive if they cannot trust their lives to love and the healing power of Salar.
