Imagine a horse-powered world where magic’s used for mending, making, and healing.

Magical ability is rare, but Ky Vaux—a peasant boy from a poor family—can not only mend and make, but he’s extremely powerful and working toward his dream of becoming a healer.

Though everyone's working, Ky’s gift of magic is now the main support for Ky, his mother, his sister, his aunt and his cousins. Plus, they support a large number of people who work for the family.

But for Ky, taking care of his family’s no longer enough. Now, he’s doing his best to help others: The poor, the sick, the deformed, and the victims of a blizzard which collapsed homes all around the city.

Plus, the cold's endangering everyone, especially the poor.
