A Song of Smoke & Magic

The Grace family ran an apothecary in their tiny home village. When their father dies, Artemisia & Loreli Grace take over the family business. But when the Prince of the Khavamoore Kingdom falls in love with her sister & whisks her away to the capital city, Artemisia is left alone in their father's home with her pets and her plants. Unbenounced to their village, Artemisia & Loreli are witches, as their father was. This long-held family secret has been kept well, but suspicion has begun to rise in the village as the locals, outraged over the recent decree of acceptance of magick in the capital, begin to mistrust the apothecary & the strange Grace daughter who haunts it. After months of prodding, Artemisia finally gives into Loreli's suggestion that they move Grace House Apothecary to Westgarde, the famed capital city of Khavamoore. Soon after her move to the city, Artemisia Grace is swept into the world of deceptive royals, soft-handed Captains, and heart-pounding danger that is Westgarde and the secrets within the palace.
