The encounter with the sorcerer was decisive: Melisende received from him a book and a gift, two wonderful treats that encapsulate too much power. The healer gave her potions, formulas and substances that she would use to learn the arts of healing humans and animals.

Many did not like that a girl acquired the prestige reserved only for grown men, so they accused her of being a witch.

Was the young woman a sage or a witch? Should she follow her vocation of healing or seek the tranquility of marriage? She would have to carve out her path.

An epic novel about breaking gender and age stereotypes.
