Royal bastard Josse de Bourbon is more kitchen boy than fils de France. Mira tries to ease her guilt by brewing helpful curatives, but her hunger tonics and headache remedies cannot right past wrongs or save the dissenters her mother vows to purge. SummaryĪfter unwittingly helping her mother poison King Louis XIV, seventeen-year-old alchemist Mirabelle Monvoisin is forced to see her mother’s Shadow Society in a horrifying new light: they’re not heroes of the people, as they’ve always claimed to be, but murderers. This book is about realizing that intentions matter, realizing that our inventions have consequences, and finding the strength to fix our mistakes. It’s a book about family, taking a stand, and self-acceptance. An Affair of Poisons is all action from the very beginning.
