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. 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 grant them 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 the woman he loves - a bright, spirited fugitive named Jinx, who has lost the memories of her past.
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 a story of friendship, adventure, action, magic, and personal discovery in this prequel installment of the "Heroes of Time" series!

Review :
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! - Alex McHaddad, News Director at EOAlive.TV
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. - Ryan Harger, Beta Reader
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. - Josiah Davis, Editor
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. - Linda Branam, Editor
