Avry Of Kazan Books in Order

The Avry of Kazan books, often called the Healer series, take place in a world still reeling from a magical plague that wiped out much of the population and left the survivors scrambling to rebuild. In the chaos that followed, healers like Avry were blamed for spreading the sickness, hunted down, and almost wiped out. When the story begins, Avry is one of the last of her kind, moving from town to town, hiding her gift and carrying a lifetime of grief and guilt.

Avry’s magic is simple to describe and brutal to live with, she can lay hands on someone and draw their injuries or illness into her own body, then recover faster than a normal person. In Touch of Power, a moment of compassion gives her away when she heals a dying child, landing her in prison and under a death sentence. A band of rogues led by Kerrick breaks her out, not out of kindness but because they need a healer to cure a prince who might be the last hope for the Realms. The journey that follows takes them across the Nine Mountains through wars, mercenaries, and carnivorous plants, forcing Avry to decide who deserves to be saved and what she is willing to sacrifice.

The first book reads like a road movie stitched with magic, banter, and the slow, uneasy trust that builds within a found family.

In Scent of Magic, Avry is officially dead in the eyes of the world, which gives her room to move in secret. She uses that anonymity to work against the ruthless King Tohon, whose army of reanimated soldiers threatens to roll over the remaining Realms. Avry infiltrates holy armies, trains raw recruits in forest survival, and quietly pushes allies into position, all while searching for her estranged sister and trying to keep her own identity hidden. The stakes are wider, but the focus stays on the personal cost of carrying everyone else’s pain, literally and figuratively.

Taste of Darkness brings Avry to the point where both her world and her closest relationships are under strain. Kerrick goes missing, a new enemy known as the Skeleton King moves to seize power, and the dead refuse to stay buried. Avry’s healing is needed on every front, yet every use of it leaves her more vulnerable. She is pulled between loyalty to the people she loves and her duty to the Realms, knowing that any choice might break something she cannot repair.

Across the trilogy, Snyder balances battles and political maneuvering with quieter scenes of campfire teasing, inside jokes, and the small moments that make a group of strangers feel like a family. The series will appeal to readers who like their fantasy with a clear magical hook, a heroine who keeps getting back up no matter how much she is knocked down, and a world where healing can be as dangerous as any sword.
