The Archer's Wish
(2026)(A book in the Legends of the Miracle Stone series)
A novel by Hildie McQueen
A broken warrior. A gentle healer. A miracle waiting to ignite hope.
Once, Liam McRay was a warrior who made enemies falter with a single glance. A master archer and battlefield champion, he lived for victory, honor, and the thrill of the fight. But after a crushing injury steals the strength from his leg, he is left with nothing but pain, frustration, and the whispers of those who once admired him. Crippled.Broken.Finished.The words echo louder than any battle cry.
His days are now measured by the unrelenting ache in his bones and the pity in the eyes of his clansmen, something he cannot bear. And yet, one person refuses to look at him with anything but quiet determination: Beitris Lewis, the healer’s apprentice tasked with easing his suffering. Her gentle hands restore more than just muscle and movement; they threaten to awaken the part of his heart he thought the injury had shattered.
But desire is a battlefield he cannot afford. Drawn to her warmth, yet ashamed of what he’s become, Liam keeps his distance, even as she becomes the one constant in his life. When duty, danger, and the whisper of a long-forgotten miracle stone collide, Liam must decide whether to cling to his broken pride… or reach for the woman who just might help him reclaim his purpose—and his heart.
