The Healer's Apprentice by Melanie Dickerson (Published by Zondervan, October 1, 2010)When destiny sleeps, it can only be awakened by true love’s kiss.
In this historical romance loosely based on the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale, Rose, a woodcutter’s daughter, becomes the town healer’s apprentice. Her job is to help care for the sick and injured in the Southwest tower of Hagenheim Castle. But Rose becomes sick at the sight of blood and is more suited to making up stories than sewing up wounds. She is determined to overcome her weakness and prove herself a competent healer, or face marrying a disgusting old merchant her mother has picked out for her.
Lord Hamlin, oldest son of the duke, destined to be ruler of the region, is injured while the healer is away. Rose must overcome her squeamishness and inexperience to care for his injury. And she must not fall in love in with Lord Hamlin, for he is betrothed to marry a girl who is in hiding and must fulfill his duty to find the evil conjurer, Moncore, and save his betrothed.
But the people of Hagenheim are not always who they seem. When Rose’s life is in danger, Lord Hamlin must choose between duty and destiny, between obligation … and true love.
I love young adult medieval romance and fairy tales so this book sounds perfect for me. And I love the cover, it's so pretty.

I hope you like it! Thanks so much for featuring The Healer's Apprentice on your blog, Rebecca! I love fairy tales, too. :-) I have another book that I hope will get published soon--a Beauty and the Beast story, set in medieval England. It's very romantic too. ;-)
