Healer's Touch

  • Fantasy
  • Supernatural
  • Romance

The Young Riders meet The Vampire Diaries in this tale of brother versus brother and blood-magic set in a gaslamp fantasy world. Book 1 in the Deadly Touch Trilogy.
 
Llew has a gift. Her body heals itself from any injury, at a cost to anyone nearby.
 
Llew's father disappeared when she was eleven, leaving her orphaned, as far as she knew.
 
Since then, Llew has learned to survive the streets of the gold-mining town of Cheer – full of opportunistic men and desperation. It’s a hard existence made tougher when her so-called friend accuses Llew of murder, sending her to the gallows.
 
Llew's Aenuk ability to absorb life means she doesn’t stay dead for long, but she does leave a trail of death behind her.
 
Escaping the hangman’s noose sees Llew fall into the hands of Jonas: the man with the knife and the Karan power to kill Llew’s kind. If Llew can nurture the attraction he has to her, maybe she can keep that knife from her heart.
 
But lurking in the shadows is Jonas’s half-brother, Braph: the man who has learned to combine Aenuk and Karan powers into infinite and addictive magical potential.
 
Healer's Touch is a fantasy novel flavored with a wild west setting, steampunk-like technology, enough romance to draw you in, horror to keep you hooked, and just enough sex to keep things spicy.

Melany has been running from a life of punishment. 

As a half-blood, she is considered ‘impure’ by the pure Fey-folk who rule Tir Na Nog, the Land of Youth. A world that exists alongside Earth with Rifts that allow transportation between each Realm, Tir Na Nog is nothing like the Human Realm. Wild and unruly, it is less advanced and overrun with magic and immortal beings.

Melany fled the land years ago, along with other half-bloods after one of the ‘Gathering’ raids by the Fey. She made her own life on Earth, where she belonged and her half-human side thrived. 

 Though now she’s been dragged back into The Acadamh, an almost human-like University setting where young Fey rulers and Courts are forced to co-exist as a means of developing their own powers, skills and relations with other Courts. 

However, as a half-blood, Melany and the others ripped from Earth alongside her found themselves in a dangerous situation as one by one members of the Courtless are hunted by something that even the Princes won’t speak of.
