The Wandering Mandrake

Mandrakes are drawn to lies, and truth never stays buried…

Fern finally knows the name of her father's killer—yet in a world where wealth is armour, knowing isn't enough. In the pursuit of justice, she turns to dark alchemy after Seth finds a forbidden working that can force any truth to the light.

There's one problem—its key ingredient is a wandering mandrake, a shy nocturnal plant that won't be taken easily. As fate would have it, the last sighting of the plant is in the same corner of England where an old friend is in seclusion.

Two missions converge. Fern hunts the mandrake while Millie goes undercover in a gloomy country estate to untangle the web holding a young woman tight. When secrets begin to unravel and time runs desperately short, everyone trapped in this web of magic and deception will have to choose—stay caged, or burn it all down?
