Synopsis/Details
Elocin Caithness, an educated widow and her young son are haunted by dreams connecting them to a serial killer. With her own knowledge in herbology, and the help of Detective Altmore, she searches for her true mixed heritage. In doing so, she finds her 'lost' twin brother and who her parents were - a disowned son of the wealthy Collins family and his sorceress wife from the generally maligned Tinsmiths or Irish Travelers or Irish Gypsies. This leads the trail to exposing her parents' real murderer and bringing this culprit to justice. For fans of the Fantasy and Victorian Steampunk genres, "The Healer and the Warlock" is a detective tale following an educated woman with a dark exciting twist in her background that will delight, thrill, and at times terrify. This is told in a mainly gritty Victorian urban setting that will invite the audience into a deeper psychological relationship with the machinations of status, bigotry, and class division.
