A Life-Saving Gift and Vicious Curse
Mirabelle Chevalier knows that she has a special gift. Born a Heart Healer, she can cure any illness. By her touch, cuts instantly close without a single scar, fevers cool, and broken bones are mended. Some of the sick are even brought back from the icy brink of death and again into the world of the living. Mirabelle's gift not only helps fight disease, but also helps to sooth Mirabelle's uneasy conscious and give purpose to her life.
Yet her healing power is doubly a curse, for Magic is forbidden on the pain of death. Guards search through houses, stores, and ships looking for any hints of illegal activity. Fear spreads like a dark shadow. Still, unwilling to obey, Mirabelle risks her own life and must make impossible and horrible promises to keep her head-- including living with a horrible Beast and finding the elusive cure for a broken heart.
