Read The Duty of Pain Storyline:

Tales of the Citadel
13



Taking pain from those
in need cost her nothing until her freedom was ripped away and a life of adventure
was offered in exchange.





Alda-Xeri enjoyed her
life in her small town, helping those who needed surcease from pain during
surgery or the last moments of life. When she is taken to the court to attend
the duke’s final days, her life is altered forever and her talent twists in a
way she never could have imagined.

The Sector Guard helps
her leave her home for a life in the stars, helping more than the wealthy. She
agrees to an assignment she cannot remember and soon finds herself in the
clutches of Raiders, taking pain from victims of experimentation and wondering
how she is going to find the freedom promised her when all hell breaks loose
and she leads the charge.
