In this historical romance loosely based on the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale, a woodcutter’s daughter becomes the town healer’s apprentice. Rose’s job is to care for the sick and injured in Hagenheim Castle. But Rose gets sick at the sight of blood and is more suited to making up stories than sewing up wounds.
Lord Hamlin, the future ruler of the region, is injured and Rose must overcome her squeamishness to save him. He is everything that is noble and good, but loving him is forbidden, as he’s already betrothed to a mysterious woman in hiding.
With two noble-born brothers vying for her affections, Rose learns that the people of Hagenheim are not always who they seem, and her own heart can mislead her.
Here's the book trailer Melanie's publisher, Zondervan, had made for The Healer's Apprentice. I have to say I am quite impressed - this has to be one of the best, most elaborate book trailers that I've ever seen!
I for one can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this book come September!

That was the cover model in the book trailer, right? If so, that's the first time I've seen that done and I likes it!
@Lori - Yep, I do believe you are correct! That "little" extra detail makes a world of difference, doesn't it?
I like that it seems to be set in Germany.
Wow! it sounds great! I'm also a huge fan of Sleeping Beauty's story.
@heidenkind - Yep, so excited about a medieval!! :) And I love German history & the language too, so that type setting is definitely an added bonus.
@Luciana - Glad to know another fan! :)
I've seen this. Such an awesome trailer.
@Juju - They did SUCH a good job. I can't wait to read this - excellent "buzz" for the book!
