Cyndy Vorester’s whole life as Nantucket’s resident astronomer changes when her violent car crash results in a Near Death Experience. As a scientist, Cyndy is confused and frightened to discover she has been transformed into a whole new person. Somehow she has become a “Chosen One”—a healer and mystic. Cyndy’s transformation plunges her into a life and death struggle with Maaiken Starbroke, the imperious pastor of the local church, a man world-famous for his ability to heal any disease. Bent on protecting his power and the secret behind it, Starbroke is determined—dead-set—not to allow another healer on his island. But they are not alone. Two men, one an archeologist of dubious morals, the other a giant of a man with a mystical past, come to Nantucket to try to find out the secret power behind Starbroke's healing. Both men are caught up in the growing violence that erupts on the island. As Cyndy fights for her life, the secret behind the healing is revealed.
