The Poisoner

In Victorian London, botanist Alina Lis quietly uses her knowledge of poison against men she believes deserve punishment. Her latest target, wealthy Silas Forbes, should be another successful experiment. Instead, he turns up alive in her apothecary, revealing that he is something far more dangerous than an ordinary man. Their fascination becomes a struggle between two predators, drawing Alina into hidden identities, supernatural appetites and violent secrets. The first book in a continuing gothic vampire romance trilogy; its central relationship is not resolved within this volume.
