Can two war wounded learn how to carry on after life-changing injuries?
No one has told Roland anything useful since he awoke in the Temple of Healing following the battle of Ypres. Muzzy-headed from the potions he's forced to take and with no word from his family or friends, he is entirely alone. He's only allowed out of his room for command performances, talking about his experience of the War to people who refuse to listen to reality.
When Elen is assigned as his new nurse, Roland assumes she will be gone in a week or two like all the others. She's still there in a month, stubbornly insisting on doing everything she can to help him recover.
Elen has been sent back from the front after a head injury. She used to know the Temple of Healing well, back during her apprenticeship. Now, nothing works like it used to and she can't figure out what to do about the fact Roland's healer is entirely absent from his care. Except, that is, for baffling directives that are not at all in her patient's best interest.
Together, they must confront Elen's fear of questioning authority and find out why Roland has been isolated from everyone he knows.
Carry On is set during the Great War in Albion, the magical community of England, Wales, and Scotland. First in the Mysterious Power series, it has a happily-ever-after ending full of knitting, compassion, and romance.
