Synopsis

Amid the gaslit streets of Victorian London, botanist Alina Lis moonlights as a poisoner, meting out her own brand of justice to the city's most unsavory men. When her latest target, the charming playboy Silas Forbes, turns up very much alive at her apothecary days later, Alina discovers that human men are the least of her problems.

As their dangerous, magnetic bond deepens amid high-society gossip and concealed identities, Alina is drawn into a world of secrets and violence that neither of them can escape. The first installment in I.V. Ophelia's USA Today bestselling Poisoner trilogy, followed by The Arachnid and The Cannibal.
