The Apothecary of Lies: Spoke Routes Trilogy

THE APOTHECARY OF LIES - Book One Dessa arrives in Tidebreak with a borrowed stall, a stolen skill set and a past she is hoping the road will outrun. What she doesn't expect is a caravan that asks more of her than performance, a mentor in Caelum who teaches her the difference between knowing and understanding, and a growing community of merchants and travellers who see considerably more than she wants them to. Across twenty-five chapters and two cities, she learns to prepare remedies she actually understands, to read people as carefully as she reads plants, and to reckon with the growing cost of a life built on half-truths. The first book is about the weight of living dishonestly - and the terrifying, necessary, ultimately freeing work of beginning to put it down. It ends not with resolution but with something better: the decision to try.
