In the Scottish Highlands of 1758, a man named Dugald heals a dying child-and vanishes into legend.
Two centuries later, in the suburbs of 1950s America, eleven-year-old Duncan Graham discovers he's inherited something impossible: his ancestor's gift of healing. But every miracle comes at a cost, and Duncan will learn that the power to save others cannot save him from losing everything he loves.
When tragedy strikes his closest friend, Duncan's mysterious inheritance awakens-and so does the crushing weight of a legacy he never asked for and may never fully understand.
Told across timelines and bloodlines, HAND OF BELENOS is a story of:
- A forbidden love that united warring Scottish clans
- A boy who can heal broken bones but not broken hearts
- The thin places between the sacred and the everyday
- What we're willing to sacrifice for those we love
Perfect for readers who loved THE NIGHT CIRCUS, OUTLANDER, and THE SONG OF ACHILLES.
If you've ever believed in something unseen-or wanted to-Hand of Belenos will speak to the part of you that still listens for echoes.
