The Apothecary's Apprentice - Paperback

Magic has always been their greatest gift. But it is also to blame.

Daciana has grown up in her master's shadow. Spurned by the village because of her heritage, she's content to remain there, waiting until she completes her apprenticeship to escape the village for good. But when a murder rocks her world, she chooses to brave the village that's never accepted her.

Sorin is being crushed beneath the weight of expectation. His every step has been dictated by the whims of his grandfather for one reason: Sorin is one of the few members of the village with a powerful gift for magic. Regardless of what it costs, he's expected to carry the weight of the village's future on his shoulders.

Thrust together, both are determined to unravel the mystery. Their search for answers draws them closer to each other and deeper into the darkness surrounding the head family and the magic that has protected the village for generations. If they can't solve it in time, then everything they love will be destroyed.

If you love clean romance, magic, and fantasy blended with mystery, you'll love C.S. Doraga's The Apothecary's Apprentice. This book is part of The Wolves of Highfell Saga, a series of standalones intended to be read in any order.
