Nearly a year has passed since the conclusion of the Chatcaavan War… which means it’s time for Jahir and Sediryl to marry, and Sediryl to kneel for the coronet of the imperial heir! All their allies are gathering to celebrate, from the expected, like the Queen Ransomed and Lisinthir, to mentors and friends from years past. But life doesn’t pause for momentous events, no matter how joyous or anticipated. There are issues Jahir and Sediryl have yet to resolve, issues that reflect the greater challenges besetting their world and the Alliance. Before they can join hands for the wedding cloth, they’ll have to face at least one of those challenges… and it won’t be the first.
Healer’s Wedding, Book 1 in the Jubilee Summer duology, brings together the characters from Her Instruments, Dreamhealers, and Princes’ Game for a capstone season of politics and pleasure. Return to the homeworld of the Eldritch and the company of friends!

Synopsis
Prologue
Beth continues her convent tour, where she plays up the fact that she's some kind of damaged person, skillfully manipulating the tenants into revering her while she travels. She arrives at the convent of Saint Militha, where she has a meeting with Amber. Amber tells her he dislikes Lisinthir, both because he rescued her and also, with Sediryl, declined to let him do something he found sufficiently dramatic to avenge Beth. Filing this away, Beth manipulates Amber into pledging himself to her cause.
Key Quote
"You speak of the Queen, now styling herself Empress, and her new heir, our cousin. And all their coterie of alien-lovers, who would throw our world into the arms of people who could not defend themselves from dragons. And they expect these failures to defend us?" - Amber
Chapter One
Sediryl is being given a tour of Jerent Mysfeldt's test plot, and she is amazed that these plants are growing on her home world. Qora, who with another Faulfenzair has volunteered to take the tour with her, reminds her that she also has to think of a gift (meaning for her investiture), also asking her what Beth brought to her investiture. However, Sediryl is more stumped on what to give Jahir as a troth gift for their upcoming wedding. At Maia's suggestion, Sediryl decides she'll turn to Vasiht'h for help.
Back at her office at Ontine, Sediryl is ambushed by Val, who presses her about her training. Qora volunteers to take over her training since she can't give Val the time he says she needs to take, and Val leaves, satisfied. Qora was serious, however, and intends to keep teaching her Faulfenza dance. Sediryl reluctantly agrees to give an hour each day to Qora right as the sun rises.
