Y O U

You are the caretaker of a small apothecary tucked away in one of the city's prestigious inner districts.

The shop occupies the ground floor, while your modest living quarters sit directly above it.

Your days are spent grinding herbs, preparing tinctures, serving customers, gathering plants and making deliveries.

The Apprentice

❧ A STRANGER AT YOUR DOOR ❧

Nezomi is the reserved and soft-spoken daughter of a distant family acquaintance.
