Anluan has been crippled since childhood, part of a curse that has besieged his family and his home of Whistling Tor. But when the young scribe Caitrin is retained to sort through family documents, she brings about unexpected changes in the household, casting a hopeful light against the despairing shadows. But to truly free Anluan's burdened soul, Caitrin must unravel the web of sorcery woven by his ancestors before it claims his life-and their love.

Heart's Blood
submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on July 24, 2013, 12:07am
In "Heart's Blood," Juliet Marillier tells another fantasy story with exciting plot twists and engaging characters.
The novel tells the story of Caitrin, who is running from abusive relatives. She accidentally travels to Whistling Tor, an isolated tower inhabited by Anluan, who has had a physical disability since birth. Anluan hires Caitrin as a scribe for the summer, but she also discovers the secrets of Whistling Tor.
While the novel is thus-far a stand-alone, it may be the beginning of another series by a fabulous author.
