Overview

As this series continues, a nineteenth-century Italian woman takes on the mantle of her family’s legacy to help others, but potentially at great cost to her. 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.  When Sara learns that her grandmother was once a healer, a series of events is set in motion that could lead to the end of the family legacy. As long-hidden secrets are revealed, Sara starts to doubt everything she once believed in. Her mind in turmoil, she no longer knows whether she can follow in the footsteps of her ancestors. Disowned by her parents, it’s time to make a difficult decision. But rumors leave Sara fearing for her future. Will the curse of the Innocenti strike her family once more? Helen Pryke is also the author of the Maggie Turner mysteries. The Healer’s Awakening is a compelling saga with a touch of romance. It’s the perfect read for fans of authors like Philippa Gregory, Lindsey Jayne Ashford, and Dinah Jefferies.

Author Information

Helen Pryke is a chocolate-addicted British author who has been living in the north of Italy for almost thirty years. She is now happily married to her second husband, who is a wonderful cook, and enjoying life with her two sons and a rescue cat, Pan. Fluent in Italian, she worked as a translator and taught English to Italian students for many years, before deciding to follow her dream and become an author. Helen has always loved reading, and started writing at an early age – her first article was published in a school magazine when she was ten. She got her passion for reading from her mum, who encouraged her to write, but sadly never got to see Helen’s dream come true. Helen has written two suspense novels, set in the Portsmouth area she grew up in many years ago. She enjoys creating dark characters who send chills down your spine, which worries her husband somewhat. Helen is delighted to be working with Bloodhound Books, and can’t wait to introduce readers to more of her dark side.
