The Taste of Nightshade
A mother’s love can be the cruelest kind of magic.
Raised beneath her mother’s watchful eye, Aemrya has learned that obedience means safety and questions come with consequences. When forbidden magic awakens within her, she begins to uncover the truth about her suffering and the terrifying power it may take to finally break free.
Enter Velwyth
Aemrya has spent her life believing that her suffering is proof of her own fragility. Her mother’s remedies, warnings, and rituals have shaped a world where obedience is praised, independence is dangerous, and truth is whatever she is told to accept.
But the magic awakening inside her refuses to remain hidden.
As Aemrya begins to question the life built around her, long-buried secrets rise to the surface and the boundaries of her world begin to splinter. Velwyth is filled with ancient power, dangerous loyalties, and people who understand that control can wear the face of devotion.
To claim a future of her own, Aemrya must uncover what was done to her, decide whom she can trust, and find the courage to step beyond the identity her mother created for her.
