Hm… a novel about a modern day Scarlet Pimpernel. It would be appropriate.

Free story idea to anyone who wants it - it is not one I feel competent to write, to give it the depth of feeling it deserves

In this fantasy world, everyone knows children don't have souls until they are four summers old. That's why they so often die before that age. You mourn them and move on, but they weren't real people yet, so it's easier to bear.

Some centuries ago, healing magic was developed, a way to strengthen the soul, which in turn strengthened the body during illness. Such a shame it only works on people, those who have a soul...

Today, in desperation, you tried to use healing magic on an infant. And it worked!
