A side-novella set just after the battle at the end of Tuyo. Suelen Haras Soyauta, a Lau Surgeon Dedicat, requests permission to cross into Ugaro territory to tend to the wounded, even knowing that if he's caught using any normal healing magics, the Ugaro will likely interpret his actions as using forbidden sorcery.

I'm squeamish about things like surgery, so I was a bit hesitant to read this -- but it was interesting! Interesting worldbuilding, interesting cross-cultural relationships and an interesting POV character. ( )
