In late eighteenth-century Northumberland, England,
sixteen-year-old Jessamine Luxton and the mysterious Weed
uncover the horrible secrets of poisons growing in Thomas
Luxton's apothecary garden. In the right dose, everything is a poison. Even love . . . Jessamine Luxton has lived all her sixteen years in an
isolated cottage near Alnwick Castle, with little company
apart from the plants in her garden. Her father, Thomas, a
feared and respected apothecary, has taught her much about
the incredible powers of plants: that even the most
innocent-looking weed can cure -- or kill. When Jessamine begins to fall in love with a mysterious boy
who claims to communicate with plants, she is drawn into the
dangerous world of the poison garden in a way she never
could have imagined . . .
