Cora is an alchemist. They know how to make potions and keep their head down. When strange, dark forces appear to be at play in the city, they do their best to ignore them. Until one day, their door is almost beaten down.
Their best friend (and lifelong crush) pulls them into a world of adventure and intrigue, trying to solve a murder and unravel a world-threatening conspiracy. They do it with the help of the aforementioned crush, a nervous vicar, and a mermaid. Along the way, they learn about the dangers of shutting yourself of from the world, and what they'd sacrifice for their friends. And how to kiss.

Daphne longed for something more than what the ocean held for her. She is tainted by the race that she was born to lead if anything happened to her brothers that made them incapable of leading their kingdom. There was nothing down there for her that would give her any happiness. She needed something that could pull away from the feelings of hate that she feels for herself. The depression that seeps into her bones every time she is hit, either with words or an object. Daphne needed something that would save her from the world that she is withering in.

She only had to find a way to get there. Then maybe she could find her happily ever after.Complete
