Evelynya's Elixir Emporium - Paperback

by Matthew John Grote (Author)

A towering magical tree on a bustling city street cradles a potion shop and a treetop bar. Inside lives a family one spell away from disaster.

At Evelynya's Elixir Emporium, the potions and booze are potent, the service suspect, and the family drama brewed stronger than any bottled lightning. Half-elf twins Arihon and Llianna, raised in the shadow of their legendary elven sorceress mother, have spent their lives torn between the weight of expectation and the search for their own identities. Arihon would rather perfect his wardrobe than his spellwork, while Llianna juggles forbidden divine power, and two monstrous lovers. Their father, a disgraced human knight-turned-drunk, lurks somewhere on a barstool.

But when a bit of eavesdropping and forbidden magic goes catastrophically wrong, the family's darkest secrets erupt like an over-shaken potion bottle. Now, the entire clan, including a winged cat, must put aside betrayal, resentment, and a long history of bad decisions to save their home, their patrons, and maybe even each other.

Darkly funny, emotionally raw, and steeped in magic, Evelynya's Elixir Emporium is a fantasy about the chaos we inherit, the power we claim, and surviving the complicated mess that is family.
