Sylvie and her mother and grandmother are beloved, trusted healers in their medieval French village, though some whisper that fifteen-year-old Sylvie and her grand-mere deal in more than just herbs and medicines. Perhaps they're a bit . . . witchy? After her grandmother dies and an attempt to use magic to heal her mother's grief brooks tragic consequences, Sylvie leaves her village in search of a teacher. The journey subjects her to strange alliances, powerful temptations, danger, and deceit. In the end, there may be only one wise woman Sylvie can trust in a world that would define her limits: herself. Beautifully crafted, this quietly powerful work for younger readers assures a whole new audience for an established author.","brand":"Candlewick Press (MA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45084137455767,"sku":"9781536232998","price":490.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781536232998.webp?v=1767636499","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/healer-and-witch-9781536232998","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
