In Blackwater, power belongs to the families who control the police, the courts, the river trade, and even the prayers whispered in church. The Maranos have none of that. They are poor immigrants living above a fish market-until their firstborn daughter, Lucia, touches a dying politician and brings him back from the edge of death.
The city calls it a miracle. Her family sees a way out.
Lucia's gift is extraordinary, but it is not mercy without consequence. Every healing demands a debt. Every life saved shifts suffering somewhere else. As desperate strangers, corrupt officials, priests, gang leaders, and grieving families circle around her, Lucia becomes the most dangerous kind of saint: one people want to worship, use, protect, and own.
Her brother Matteo understands the city faster than anyone. If Blackwater is ruled by powerful families, then the Maranos must become one. But as miracles turn into influence, influence into protection, and protection into an empire, Lucia must decide whether her gift is a blessing, a weapon, or a curse passed through blood.
Dark, emotional, and richly atmospheric, The Healing Daughter is the first book in The Saints of Blackwater, a crime saga of faith, family loyalty, supernatural inheritance, moral corruption, and the terrible price of becoming untouchable.
