Revenge — Steve Elliott

Something is dreadfully wrong with Tracey. She appears to be dying, and nobody knows what's causing it or how to stop its inevitable progress. Her condition initiates a frantic scramble for answers that culminates in finding Quina, a very eccentric healer, who lives in the wilderness. She's ugly, extremely so, but Stephen suspects there's more to her than meets the eye. She appears reluctant to help, but finally agrees to do so when pressured by Thorn, Tracey's sister. Quina's methods are somewhat……individualistic, to say the very least, but she does announce a bizarre solution to Tracey's mysterious illness, but is she correct? And will Stephen and his companions find the cure before it's too late? The confusing and dangerous path to uncover the hidden machinations of the plot against Tracey will take them a long way from home; involve them in fights with the most horrendous antagonists and lead to a very surprising and tragic conclusion.
