Description
A butterfly's wing is healed, and destiny unfolds. Follow the healer's path as he walks between shadow and light.
Fulgar Geth's life has been one of grief and hardship since childhood. With his strange abilities to heal and wield forces of magnetism, he is often shunned and misunderstood. Unable to catch a break by following society's rules, he and his lifelong friend Binny take to a life of vagabond thievery, hoping to scrape by until better days. Their dream: to follow the clues around an ancient talisman to a place of power, a power they believe will allow them to achieve a destiny free from the rule and control of others.
But circumstances take a turn for the worse, sending Fulgar into a tailspin of depression and regret that nearly costs him his health, his faith, and everyone he cares about.
Meanwhile, a dangerous Shadow Mage pursues him, intent on harvesting Fulgar's powers. A mysterious order of protectors steps in to help guide Fulgar's path and fight the persistent presence of dark forces. With everyone's interests revolving around his powers, Fulgar must decide whom he can trust and what it truly means to have faith.
Join Fulgar and his comrades in this tale of friendship, adventure, action, magic, and personal discovery in this prequel installment of the "Heroes of Time" series!
Advance Praise
From Alex McHaddad (beta reader):
Murdoch's Choice introduced us to the seafaring side of Eliorin. The Healer unleashes the magical undercurrent merely glimpsed on Murdoch's voyages. The Legend of the Heroes of Time won't be complete until you know the tale of The Healer!
From Ryan Harger (beta reader):
Long before his adventure with Captain Zale, Fulgar Geth had a complicated and tumultuous life. The Healer dives into the backstory of a fan favorite character from Murdoch's Choice. We get to see how Fulgar deals with the hands of fate and how he goes from the streets to his first adventure and battle against the Void.
A side book in the Heroes of Time series; if you enjoyed Murdoch's Choice and Murdoch's Shadow then The Healer is a highly recommended next read. If you haven't read those (and I recommend you do), this book actually leads directly into Murdoch's Choice and can serve as an entry point into the series.
From Josiah Davis (developmental editor; possibly from his associate editor, Cameron):
The story was very solid and had good flow and direction, the characters were fleshed out and most had good motivations and goals by the end of the book, the themes and concepts were well conveyed and interesting, and the action scenes were excellent. You also have obviously done a stellar job of worldbuilding, and I think the story has a ton of room to grow and expand and be extremely interesting and cool with the ideas you've set up.
From Linda Branam (line/copyeditor):
What puts your story above so many others is its sparkling language—not only in describing setting, but in relating philosophical concepts and illuminating interpersonal relationships. And the action sequences are masterfully done! You described what was happening in such vivid terms that the action might have been on a screen instead of on the page.
Marketing Plan
We are promoting The Healer through our own social channels and email list gathered from those who have read and enjoyed our prior books, Heroes of Time Legends: Murdoch's Choice and Murdoch's Shadow. The Healer serves as a prequel to these.
Additionally we have Facebook & Instagram ads in place and are looking at various ways of stacking promos with different websites, along with several live appearances at conventions and book signing events.
