Verdigris Kol-Izzox, eldest daughter of a dragon's scion, has diligently avoided suitors and politics to focus on her true calling, alchemy. But she can't avoid her three sisters.
After one sister's dabbling in necromancy backfires, Verdi plans to brave the winter snow and head up the mountain to acquire a plant that might cure her.
The only capable guide available happens to be the Sun Library's handsome but reclusive Head of Restorations, a man with whom Verdi recently made a less than favorable first impression.
Distilling a simple medicine should pose no challenge for the youngest Master Alchemist in living memory. Resolving the compounding misunderstandings that follow proves far harder. Not every problem can be solved by potions.
