The Healer and the Immortal
In a forgotten corner of a dying world, a young woman named Willow lives quietly at the forest's edge-gentle, curious, and armed with a rare gift for healing that her village barely understands.
They call her strange.
They call her witch-touched.
She calls it compassion.
Deep within the ancient woods stands a ruined castle and the man who haunts it-
Orion, a battle-scarred immortal who has lived centuries without love, without mercy, and without a single reason to trust mankind. He watches the world with cold indifference, determined never to care for anything mortal again.
But when Willow stumbles into his domain seeking knowledge, the immortal who despises humanity finds himself drawn to the girl who embodies everything good about it.
Against the backdrop of superstition, disease, and rising fear, a forbidden bond grows between the healer and the warrior-one that challenges everything Orion swore he'd never feel again, and everything Willow never expected to have.
Yet in a world ruled by ignorance and shadowed by old cruelties, love is dangerous.
Knowledge is dangerous.
And the line between faith and fear is thin enough to snap beneath even the gentlest hands.
When innocence meets immortality, when tenderness meets a world that fears it, what remains is a story of love, legacy, and the lengths we go to protect the ones we cannot live without.
