The Lavender Apothecary

"A herbal concoction that can heal wounds of the heart and re-write the past?"

Too good to be true, that is, Astrid Luna's perception upon hearing the recent urban legend that had been lurking around town.

Legend says, a mysterious doctor that resides in a small Apothecary that lies within the depths of Fharia City's most perilous suburban jungle that is known to drive people mad to their core, or fall into an eternal slumber, if they manage to survive.

Born into a family of powerful politicians, military geniuses and even Mafias, Astrid never sought the warnings of the rumors and without doubts, made her way to the Apothecary after being dumped by her long term fiance in search for a desperate remedy for an impossible malady no doctor nor medicine can cure: "A remedy for a revenge-driven heart."

Astrid then faces the reality of her purpose turned into a soul binding contract exchange with the owner of of the infamous apothecary, the Physician himself and making her his personal Saileh (Assassin-Body Guard) as they venture an unknown nature-engulfed post-apocalyptic world ahead of time in search for the "Remedy"

Will Astrid still want her ever-longed remedy once she founds out the awfully bitter medicine she has to swallow?

The pill for resurrection of unconditional Love
or
The elixir to eternal Slumber for Revenge?

Choose wisely.
