Belladonna Moon

The only differences between medicine and poison are dosage and intent.

Savannah, 1749. Mercy Penrose helps her mother run an apothecary. She specializes in elemental magic and uses it to create the best medicinal salves, oils, and teas in the colony. The trick is only using enough of her magic to help without raising her witch-fearing neighbor's suspicions.

Then, one morning, Mercy returns home to find her parents murdered. The killer wanted her family's magic artifacts and grimoires, but she can't tell this to the man in charge of the investigation without risking burning at the stake. That only leaves one choice. It's up to Mercy to find her parents' killer and bring them to justice.

Her investigation gets complicated when she meets Kit Arkill, a bounty hunter sent to capture or kill the two witches responsible for the Salem witch trials. The two realize they're after the same people and decide to work together. But joining forces might still not be enough, as one of the witches they're hunting can shapeshift. Every neighbor that Mercy knows and trusts is now in question.

Follow Mercy and Kit as they try to hunt down two dangerous killers. Mercy was trained to heal, not fight, but the world should know better than to underestimate a witch comfortable in her own power...
