What is The Life and Time of Lonny Quicke about?

Twelve-year-old Lonny Quicke is a lifeling: he can heal any living creature, or bring one back from the dead. But every life he saves shortens his own, so Lonny’s family keeps him hidden deep in the forest. When a series of emergencies forces him into the nearby village, Lonny begins to question everything he has been told about lifelings. As danger closes in, he must decide whether to protect his secret or use his extraordinary gift, whatever the cost.
