title: The Knight and the Healer
author: Benson, Lorna
description: Story Notes: The year is 1226. A knight lies grievously wounded in the woods on the Scottish-British border. He is surrounded by a group of pages, squires and two knights. Some are in tears. Lady Elizabeth Duncan and her helper, Leah, arrive on horseback. Beth is a widow and the recently appointed healer for the Clan McLeod, headquartered at Castle Klayloch. She approaches the fallen knight, Sir Malcolm McIvor, and sees he is bleeding profusely. Her challenge has begun. Can she save this knight who just happens to be a close friend of the Laird and exceedingly good looking? Join her as she faces many obstacles, including death threats, dealing with her widowhood and the primitive environment of early medieval days as she attempts to do just that.
