Healing Water, Book One: The Heart of the Healer
When the Kingdom of Mercia mourns the loss of a kind peasant woman, Audrey, and Queen Liv-both passing in the same fateful week-grief shrouds the land. But amid the sorrow, everything changes when two elderly family members bestow extraordinary abilities upon a newborn baby girl named Esme Waterlend. Though known to man, these gifts remain still surrounded in mystery, foretold through visions received by both Esme's mother and the late Queen before her birth.
Years later, Esme struggles to understand her purpose in a world that fears her abilities. With the support of her family, she becomes a healer for the royal court, only to capture the attention of Prince Alder. Their love, seemingly forbidden, was destined long before they ever met. But as Esme delves deeper into her past, she uncovers a long-buried secret-one entwined with the many mysteries surrounding both of their families.
Esme must embark on an adventure that will challenge everything she knows, forcing her to uncover the truth of her origins and embrace the destiny she was meant to fulfill-no matter what twists and turns await her, even it means becoming a Queen of two countries.
