Fantasy, Lore, & More: The Plague Doctor & The Littlest Sister

<p>Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, Carolina Cardona joined me to talk about his fantasy book, <em>The Plague Doctor &amp; The Littlest Sister</em>.</p><p><strong>What’s it about?</strong></p><p>The Plague Doctor &amp; the Littlest Sister is a cozy gothic medieval fantasy about Agnes, an inexplicably plague-resistant nine-year-old nun who joins three exhausted plague doctors attempting to fight the Black Death with the very limited medical knowledge available to them.</p><p>What begins with herbs, dubious medieval remedies and a mysterious blue medicine, gradually expands into a story involving an ancient woodland being, a disgraced Templar knight, a convent with secrets, and questions none of them, not the physicians, the Church, nor even the supernatural beings who inhabit the forest, can completely answer. </p><p>At its heart, however, this is a found-family story about people continuing to care for one another in one of the most hopeless moments in human history.</p><p><strong>Where to get the book:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Honeyfeed: <a href="https://www.honeyfeed.fm/novels/33517" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.honeyfeed.fm/novels/33517</a></p></li></ul><p><strong>Where to find our guest:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Linktree on Threads and Instagram under @thetropicaleccentric</p></li></ul><p><strong>Where to find your host:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Melinda’s website: <a href="https://melindakucsera.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://melindakucsera.com/</a></p></li><li><p>Melinda’s Substack: <a href="https://www.melinda-kucsera.com/embed" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.melinda-kucsera.com/embed</a></p></li></ul>
