Horror | Fantasy Dark

A fast-paced fantasy novella where saving her father may cost a heroine more than she ever imagined.

Some cures come with a price. Some prices can't be unpaid.

Danai Walders has spent years watching plague steal her mother and threaten her father's life. Now, with time running out, her only hope lies in a dangerous journey—one that drags her onto treacherous cliffs and the wrong side of the law, right above the valley she calls home.

There, she discovers that some magic is darker than others. And that fear and conscience can blur into a single, dangerous line.

A grandmotherly Apothecant promises a cure. But Danai quickly learns that promises and oaths are not the same—especially when mysterious bloodstones and their hidden power are placed in her hands. As the true cost of saving her father becomes clear, she must decide what she's willing to pay.

And whether hope is worth the price.

Dark, gripping, and impossible to put down—The Apothecant launches The Bloodstone Saga with a heroine who will risk everything for the ones she loves, even when everything might not be enough.

A dark and gripping fantasy where desperate love meets impossible choices and every promise hides a cost. The Apothecant is epic fantasy at its most morally complex—where heroines face dark magic's true price, grandmotherly figures harbor dangerous secrets, and hope demands sacrifices that can't be undone. Perfect for readers who crave fast-paced quests, mysterious magical objects, and fantasy that refuses to look away from the devastating consequences of impossible decisions.
