In a colony bound by fear and faith, healing is a dangerous gift.
New Haven, 1654. Seventeen-year-old Mercy Whitmore inherits her mother's knowledge of herbs and remedies-secrets passed down through generations of women. But in a world where ministers thunder against witches and doctors cling to bloodletting, Mercy's compassion places her in peril.
As whispers spread and suspicion grows, Mercy is caught between two worlds: the safety of marriage and silence, or the perilous path of using her gift to save lives. When plague descends upon the colony and accusations begin to fly, her choice will determine not only her fate, but the survival of an ancient legacy.
Rich with atmosphere and historical detail, The Healer's Shadow is a haunting journey through suspicion, sacrifice, and resilience. Perfect for fans of Philippa Gregory, Alice Hoffman, and novels that explore the intersection of history, superstition, and women's hidden strength.
Will Mercy's healing hands save her people-or condemn her soul?
