Healer and Witch
Nancy Werlin’s first story for middle-grade readers tackles and transcends traditional fantasy tropes: can a young woman gifted with magic learn to manage her powers—and claim her strength—without violence? Sylvie and her mother and grandmother are beloved, trusted healers in their medieval French village, though some whisper that fifteen-year-old Sylvie and her grand-mere deal in more than herbs and medicines. Perhaps they’re a bit . . . witchy? After her grandmother dies, and an attempt to use magic to heal her mother’s grief brooks tragic consequences, Sylvie leaves her village in search of a teacher. The journey subjects her to strange alliances, powerful temptations, danger, and deceit. In the end, there may be only one wise woman Sylvie can trust in a world that would define her limits: herself. Beautifully crafted, this quietly powerful work for younger readers assures a whole new audience for an established author.

An introspective historical fantasy . . Werlin’s gentle reflection on trauma and healing, the ethics of power, and seemingly dual natures explores Sylvie’s place in the world and her relationship to those she cares for.
—Publishers Weekly
Gracefully explores themes of identity, family and belonging. . . Werlin (Zoe Rosenthal Is Not Lawful Good) brings compassion and complexity to her depictions of the relationships between characters, challenging standard notions of good and evil. . . .

Reviews for "The Spellbinding Soundtrack of a Sorceress"
1. Jessica - 2 stars - I was really excited to read "Enchanting Witch Melody" since I am a fan of fantasy novels, but unfortunately, this one did not live up to my expectations. The plot was incredibly confusing, and it seemed like the author was trying to incorporate too many elements without properly explaining them. I found myself constantly having to re-read paragraphs to try and understand what was happening. Additionally, the characters lacked depth and I couldn't connect with any of them. Overall, this novel was a disappointment for me.
2. Michael - 1 star - I couldn't even finish reading "Enchanting Witch Melody" because it was so poorly written. The grammar and spelling mistakes were abundant, and it felt like the book was not edited at all. The prose was extremely choppy and the dialogue was forced and unrealistic. Furthermore, the pacing was all over the place, with certain scenes dragging on for far too long and others feeling rushed. I cannot recommend this book to anyone who appreciates well-crafted literature.
3. Samantha - 2 stars - While the concept of "Enchanting Witch Melody" seemed intriguing, the execution fell flat for me. The world-building was weak, making it difficult for me to fully immerse myself in the story. The magic system was poorly explained and inconsistent, which left me feeling confused and disconnected from the narrative. Additionally, the writing style was lackluster and lacked any sort of unique voice. I wanted to enjoy this book, but unfortunately, it failed to captivate me.
