Some gifts are inherited. Some are endured. All must be paid for.

Duncan Graham inherited a gift he doesn't understand: the power to heal. When his childhood best friend Timmy starts dying, Duncan's first desperate attempt to use it changes everything.

Over a lifetime, Duncan must learn to master an ability passed down through generations—from ancient Highland feuds to his quiet American town. Each healing reveals more about the choices his ancestors made, and the decisions he'll have to make himself.

HAND OF BELENOS is a multi-generational saga exploring inherited responsibility, the weight of extraordinary gifts, and what it means to answer when you're called.

Perfect for readers who loved THE GREEN MILE, KENT HARUF's PLAINSONG, and MARILYNNE ROBINSON's GILEAD.

Book 1 of THE VENERATED LEGACY series.
