The Cure for a Dying God

When a classified military experiment fractures reality, Alrescha Sterling-a rural physician-is torn from her world and cast into another: a dying realm abandoned by its goddess and left to rot beneath the weight of human greed.

The skies are fractured. The land is poisoned. Civilization survives only in fragments, clinging to its final breath.

Rescued-then claimed-by the enigmatic Inquisitor Ariston, Alrescha is given an impossible role: to become a priestess capable of healing a god on the brink of extinction.

The promise is simple-restore the god, and her deepest wish will be granted.

But instead of a path home, Alrescha is given a task.

To gather the last remaining divine herbs: Each one tied to forgotten miracles, dangerous relics, and the fading memory of a forsaken god the world itself seems determined to erase.

Now hunted by the desperate Seclyr Order, she is forced into a role she never chose:

The Apothecary of a dying god.

Yet the deeper their journey takes them, the more reality begins to fracture.

The herbs respond to her touch.
The world begins to heal in her presence.
And the Inquisitor-always smiling, always watching-feels less like a guide and more like something waiting to be remembered.

Because the cure for this broken world is not merely the herbs.

It is a ritual.
A bond.
A choice.

One that could restore everything-

...or cost a god what little remains.
