Bisma knows three things to be true: the Enchanted Forest will always be her home, she would go to the ends of the Earth to protect her sisters, and Xander Chapman is the most irritating guy she's ever met.
Since finding a home in the Enchanted Forest, Bismaβa garden witch with a penchant for potionsβhas always been protective of other runaways. So, if a drop of one of her poisons finds its way into the porridge of those who have hurt them... that's none of her business.
But Xander, the charmingly handsome son of the apothecary, sees things differently and is fast becoming known for creating curesβmuch to Bisma's annoyance.
When her sisters are poisoned themselves, Bisma will need to put her feelings aside and enlist Xander's help to find out who is responsible and save the only family she has, before it's too late.
Perfect for fans of:
- grumpy x sunshine romance
- cottagecore with a Pakistani twist
- found family and sisterhood
- potions and... poison!?
Aamna Qureshi has woven a beautiful, warm, and rich world of magic in this charming cosy YA fantasy.

About the Author
Aamna Qureshi is a Pakistani, Muslim American who adores words. She is the award-winning author of YA fantasy novel, The Lady or the Lion. She grew up on Long Island, New York, in a very loud household, surrounded by English (for school), Urdu (for conversation), and Punjabi (for emotion). Much of her childhood was spent being grounded for reading past her bed-time, writing stories in the backs of her notebooks, and being scolded by teachers for passing chapters under the tables. Through her writing, she wishes to inspire a love for the beautiful country and rich culture that informed much of her identity.
