The Healer of Marchmont

Matilda hopes to become a healer, like Anne, the old woman who is teaching her the secrets of ancient plant lore. But when the local lord's daughter needs a handmaiden, Matilda is her first choice. Obliged to the lord's family, Matilda leaves the village to become the companion of Lady Christine.

When the girls swap cloaks while out picking herbs, Matilda is mistaken for the Lady Christine, and kidnapped by Lord Rufus, to be held for ransom in a land dispute.

Will Matilda escape from Lord Rufus's manor? Will she be able yo continue her dream to become a healer? And what of Lady Christine, who is now forced to become a villager so that Lord Rufus doesn't realise he has the wrong girl?

'The Healer of Marchmont' takes the reader into the world of medieval lords and ladies and into the life of a strong-willed girl. Matilda dreams of a peaceful life, but forces beyond her control make that dream impossible.
