The Poisoner by I.V. Ophelia

The Poisoner by I.V. Ophelia

The Poisoner by I.V. Ophelia is an ultra-dark, supernatural Gothic romance set against the gaslit, cobblestone streets of Victorian London. It is the first book in a trilogy, weaving a lethal game of cat-and-mouse filled with horror, vampires, and a mutual obsession.

Alina Lis is a brilliant botanist who spends her days running a quiet London apothecary. She also happens to be a hobbyist poisoner. Driven by her own twisted sense of poetic justice, Alina uses her deep knowledge of deadly plants to secretly assassinate cruel, unsavory men. After an encounter at a high-society party, she selects her next target: Silas Forbes, a arrogant, wealthy playboy with pale, unnervingly lifeless eyes.
