Miracle Nantze: A Novella

By Daina Land

God having brought him through the outbreaks of cholera, the horrors of the battlefield, and the questionable cleanliness of the Barrack Hospital in Scutari near Istanbul as he recovered from wounds sustained during the Crimean War, Robert Nantze, a gentle spoken man with the gift of encouragement, uses his knowledge as a blacksmith to make himself a fierce-looking mechanical leg. When he turns his efforts to helping the other men in his ward get back on their feet, he's instantly hailed as a miracle worker.Finding herself bereft of her brother and father and in need of a blacksmith to run the shop their deaths left behind, Katie Christison, a quick tempered beauty known for speaking her mind, is forced to choose between hiring a man to work the bellows and succumbing to her overwhelming feelings of loss.Seeing that Kate prefers the latter, a group of her father's friends intervene on her behalf, but with Kate's sharp tongue and fiery temper, they are all left wondering whether Nantze can live up to his name and somehow forge together the pieces of Kate's broken heart before she succeeds in running him off.
