The Healer Collection: The Complete Healer Saga
(2023)(A book in the Healer series)
An omnibus of novels by Helen Pryke
Five novels in this powerful saga about generations of gifted women and the connection that binds them across centuries.
Moving between past and present, these tales of a cottage in Tuscany and the healers who have occupied it are both heartbreaking and a testament to the strength of women throughout the centuries.
The Healer’s Secret
Fired and on the brink of divorce, Jennifer seeks salvation at the bottom of a wine bottle. At her mother’s insistence, she reluctantly agrees to explore her Italian roots in Tuscany. Staying in her family’s centuries-old cottage, she becomes embroiled in a mysterious tragedy involving her great-grandmother. As she delves further into her ancestors’ history, she discovers that ghosts from the past could give Jennifer something she thought she’d never have: a future . . .
The Healer’s Curse
In 1348, the plague is set to sweep through England. Unaware of what awaits, Agnes is in love and betrothed. But her life is about to be torn apart. In the present day, Jennifer has settled in with her boyfriend, Francesco, and her Italian relatives when disturbing visions of a pregnant girl lead her to once again travel into the past to find answers. This time, though, she’s afraid she may not come back . . .
The Healer's Awakening
Since Ginevra Innocenti’s death, the cottage has lain empty and abandoned in the woods. Until the day Ginevra’s granddaughter, Sara, sees a dragonfly in the depths of winter. Intrigued, she follows it and discovers the forgotten cottage. There, Sara learns her grandmother was once a healer. Could these events mean the end of the family legacy?
The Healer’s Betrayal
Morgana Innocenti was born on the cusp of the 1600s. Deaf after a childhood illness and able to see shadows where no shadow could be, she has learned strength and determination. But a three-hundred-year-old vow of revenge and a terrible secret revealed on her grandmother’s deathbed throw her life into turmoil, and she must marry a man she hardly knows. Then rumours arrive from England of witch hunters who leave a trail of death and devastation. When her daughter is born with the mark of the devil, Morgana lives in fear that they will come to Italy. She once had to marry to save her family’s name. What will she sacrifice to save her daughter?
The Healer’s Legacy
Stricken with grief after her mother’s death and forced from her home by the witch hunters, Gemma makes the arduous journey from Tuscany to her uncle’s house in Avignon with her mare, Ombra. When the past catches up with her, she must leave France and travel to England. Retracing the first healer’s steps, she finds witchcraft and friendship where she least expects it. However, the haunting song of the Dragonfly Grove tugs at her heart, and she knows that one day she will return. Meanwhile, Jennifer is writing a book about the healers. When past and present collide, Jennifer realises that time is running out and her family is in danger. Is this the end of the healers?
