A Hundred Breaths

HISTORICAL:  Gwen is a healer,  desperate and willing to do anything to save her little brother, Kendrick, from certain death at their abusive father’s hands. This includes marrying Simon, one of her tribe's biggest foes, a Scotsman. Simon promises Gwen that if she will marry him, he will send for her brother to come live with them. But Simon’s plotting father has other plans. Gwen’s sister, Venora, is a seer, and she tells Gwyn that Simon will die in the next battle because he will require a hundred breaths to be saved, and that would potentially kill Gwyn as each breath she uses to heal someone detracts from her lifelong breaths. Will she be able to save her brother in spite of everything set against her? Or will Simon and Gwyn find love on a rocky path?
