Hileshand's son doesn't remember who he is. A spell encases Jezaren's mind, and no one knows what will happen when they find him. Hileshand has battled for his sons in the past, but this time he will stand against the same sorcerer who nearly killed him in Paxa. And when they finally catch up with him, it is possible Jezaren may not want to be rescued.

Welcome to King's Barrow, where the gifts have lived side by side for hundreds of years: flamemakers, jewelers, weathermakers, growers, artists, seers, alchemists-and healers, like seventeen-year-old Hamal. He knows he isn't the best, or even the smartest, healer in the city. He isn't good with numbers, and he always leaves scars. The other night when he saved the dead man-well, he just did the best he could. He doesn't mean to get a job working for the king. And he doesn't mean to save the kingdom from a dangerous foe who's killing the king's healers. All he means to do is save his new friend. "From the opening sentence, Lauren Stinton draws her audience into an extraordinary world of seers and sages, healers and prophets in her latest novel, Should I Choose to Die Again. Readers from age ten to adult will find themselves enchanted as Stinton's lovely story of life unfolds in a world quite different from our own-and yet perhaps not so very different at all. Hope prevails in this fantastic world of mystery and intrigue. Stinton's work is reminiscent of both C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien in many ways. A delightful yarn for readers both young and old. Highly recommended."- Jane and Steve Lambert, author and publisherFive in a Row curriculum

Twin sons are born to the House of Elah. According to the tenets of the country's religion, one son is chosen for sacrifice. His death means blessing and honor for his father's house. The infant is sent to the temple to die. But the sacrifice never takes place-the son of Elah is stolen. Years later, war makes him a slave, and in the midst of his despair, the god that claimed him at his birth comes to claim him again.

Hileshand has lost his son. When the Alusian put her hand to Marcus in Ausham, she changed his future in a moment.
