The Healer's Shadow Books
Girl in the Glass first in the series about the young healer, Judith.
I will have to say it: 'I am Anya and I am nothing'. I will look down at the floor as I say it, so that I don't see the smile on my aunt's face, so she won't see the defiance in my eyes. She will get her victory. She always wins these battles. I know it, she knows it. But one day, one day she will not.
In
this Cinderella story for adults there is no fairy godmother and no
handsome prince, just a girl of spirit and her strange companion.
Orphaned
at the age of 10 in circumstances that she refuses to explain, Anya
grows up trapped in the house of her abusive aunt where she and Eva,
her Shadow, are treated as slaves. As her aunt tries to break her and
the punishments become increasingly life-threatening, Anya struggles
to find affection and self-esteem. When the inevitable showdown
arrives, where will Anya find the strength to survive and escape? And
if she does escape, what then? An arduous walk across an unforgiving
desert to a city where an even worse danger lies.

"I had always felt most alive,
when I was healing. Without healing I was a tin top spinning out of
kilter soon to catch the ground. It took all my energy to hold myself
from skidding into chaos."
But in the city of Pharsis traditional
women healers are banned from practising and the penalty for breaking
the law is death by hanging. After being arrested and interrogated
twice Judith is careful to avoid suspicion, but then scarlet fever
breaks over the city like a poisonous wave, leaving in its wake the
small corpses of children. What will the young healer do?
Love of Shadows is the second novel in
The Healer's Shadow trilogy. It is a
study in grief, love and defiance.
