The country of Bothe is in a major bind ever since their Healer, Cintas was murdered. Holmes is the “Dost”, ruler of the kingdom and along with his brother Patar and his nephew Querl, they must find a new healer soon or there will be major upheaval in the kingdom.

Maressa is a healer and a member of the royal family of Skandia. Maressa has petitioned the council to be the new healer for Bothe. She hopes they will allow her for she is afraid for her life ever since she was raped and abused by a guard of the Imperial fortress who won’t stop till he makes her his wife or even kill her so no one else can have her.

Maressa is granted her wish and travels to Bothe. She is quickly respected by the people, including Querl who starts to fall in love with her. Maressa and Querl are both confused by their feelings and Maressa feels unworthy because she is no longer a virgin. They soon become friends and confidantes until Maressa almost dies by protection of Querl. Querl must then fight for the right to have Maressa as his wife or she will end up in the hands of the man who almost destroyed her life.

Healer of the Heart is a wonderful fantasy tale with warriors, wizards and most importantly a passionate love story. Querl and Maressa are beautifully written characters and their subtle feelings for each other become even more so as soon as they admit what they feel for each other. Linda Mooney writes a bit of everything with the non-stop action, suspense and nicely written love scenes. She has a true knack for writing fantasy romance.
