In the mist-shrouded valley of Gipping Ford, the land holds secrets as deep as its roots-and healing requires more than just herbs.
Leofwine, a headstrong fifteen-year-old, is eager to follow the path of her grandmother, lfthryth, the legendary healer of Gipeswic. Together, they tend the sacred grove, whispering to the stones and mixing remedies from the wild earth. But the arrival of Brother Cuthbert, a monk with a different kind of faith and new ideas about medicine, sparks a conflict that threatens to divide their community.
The tension becomes a secondary concern when Hereward, a rival reeve with a thirst for power, begins sowing seeds of mistrust. By consorting with Viking raiders and planting curses in the soil, he unleashes a darkness the valley hasn't seen in generations. A mysterious blight soon sweeps across the steadings, poisoning the crops and sickening the folk, leaving the land gasping for life.
With her people divided and the earth dying, Leofwine must step out of her grandmother's shadow. To save Gipping Ford, she must form an unlikely alliance with Brother Cuthbert and confront the ancient, destructive magic wielded by a stranger in Hereward's shadow.
Leofwine will soon discover that true healing isn't found by choosing one path, but by weaving them together. In a world where old traditions meet new beliefs, the fate of the farmsteads rests on a young healer who must prove that unity is the greatest magic of all.Also in
