"Amazing and suspenseful read for lovers of fantasy, allegory and human psychology. 'Curse of the Healing Kiss' gives you enough cloaks, princes, carriage rides, dramatic declarations and curses to satisfy lovers of magic and fantasy, but unlike many centuries-old fairy tales, it is grounded in a very real psychological dialogue that the struggling lovers engage in with each other and themselves. It's also filled with breathtaking turns of phrase that echo the poetry that plays such a major role in the plot." -- From Goodreads review by Jennifer Boeder, Content Specialist & Editor
Inspired by French fairy tales of the 17th century, this new novella by Mark McClelland brings emotional realism to a universal story of love, trust, and jealousy, in a fantasy kingdom where curses are all too real.
The narrative revolves around two people in love: Malvinia, a sunny, outgoing woman with a knack for opening hearts; and Modeste, a man of quieter virtues. The story's true protagonist, however, is their relationship, as its resiliency is tested by the capacity of each to grow and to sacrifice in response to forces neither of them anticipated -- a conflict familiar to anyone who has struggled to be one's true, uncompromised self while at the same time honoring the needs of another in a loving long-term relationship.
