She's a human apothecary. He's the fae warrior who once broke her heart… and now he needs her help.
As a skilled apothecary, Chloe desperately wants to stay in the mortal realm where she belongs. When Quintus—a fae from her past—shows up begging her to return to Faerie, she utterly refuses.
But then Chloe finds out an angry group of mortals have imprisoned an entire castle full of fae. Somehow, Chloe's heroic older sister is among those trapped.
In effort to save the fae, she performs a ritual that gives her powerful magic…except it accidentally binds her to Quintus in the process. Unable to use magic without touching him, both Chloe's heart and wits are tested.
Affections she'd thought long gone still linger. The fear she's not strong enough to save anyone haunts her every action. Can a timid apothecary find the courage to face her feelings and save her sister, or will her doubts doom everyone she's ever known and loved?
