Necromancers do not take vacations. But when her dark magic starts failing, Vesper receives a truly terrifying medical prescription: a sunny porch.
Relocating to Riverbend is Vesper's worst nightmare. There are pastel houses, overly friendly neighbors, and entirely too much sunlight. All she wants is to brew her potions in the dark, catalog dried beetles in peace, and ignore the world with her bat-cat familiar.
Enter Elian.
He is the town's relentlessly optimistic Fae veterinarian, he smells of pine and elderberry wine, and he absolutely refuses to be intimidated by her grim aesthetic. When a cursed, ancient relic accidentally threatens Riverbend's local flying pig population, Vesper is forced to emerge from her shadows and team up with him.
Between staging midnight agricultural heists, battling fossilized gophers, and trying to ignore Elian's infuriating dimples, Vesper realizes her failing magic might not be her biggest problem. The real danger is that her cold, dead heart might actually be falling for this ridiculous town... and the annoyingly handsome Fae who comes with it.
The Apothecary is a cozy, low-stakes fantasy romance with a grumpy/sunshine trope, featuring a gloomy necromancer, a golden-retriever Fae, a bat-cat who demands expensive seafood, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
