UNSEEN
The Inquisitor has taken over Ea and executed innocent women for witchcraft. Now, Alaia’s father is dying from lung disease. Alaia is a gifted healer and can cure him given enough time, but instead she must disappear, because the Inquisitor has accused her of practicing magic.
Mateo has loved Alaia since childhood and vows to protect her from his uncle, the Inquisitor. Together, they attempt to flee in his boat in a forbidden romance, but the young healer must learn to use her herbal knowledge to fight back for those she loves. Herbs not only heal but kill.
Alaia heals with magic but must become more to save lives from the witch hunts.
