A female apothecary secretly dispenses poisons to liberate women from the men who have wronged themâsetting three lives across centuries on a dangerous collision course\
Rule #1: The poison must never be used to harm another woman.\
Rule #2: The names of the murderer and her victim must be recorded in the apothecaryâs register.\
One cold February evening in 1791, at the back of a dark London alley in a hidden apothecary shop, Nella awaits her newest customer. Once a respected healer, Nella now uses her knowledge for a darker purposeâselling well-disguised poisons to desperate women who would kill to be free of the men in their lives. But when her new patron turns out to be a precocious twelve-year-old named Eliza Fanning, an unexpected friendship sets in motion a string of events that jeopardizes Nellaâs world and threatens to expose the many women whose names are written in her register.\
In present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, reeling from the discovery of her husbandâs infidelity. When she finds an old apothecary vial near the river Thames, she canât resist investigating, only to realize sheâs found a link to the unsolved âapothecary murdersâ that haunted London over two centuries ago. As she deepens her search, Carolineâs life collides with Nellaâs and Elizaâs in a stunning twist of fateâand not everyone will survive.
