Apothecary

📖 Manufacturer / Distributor description for Apothecary

Katja is an herbalist. The best in the area, and maybe in all of Galicia. Plants talk to her (not really, plants can't talk), she has medical instincts, and prefers herbariums to romance. And this causes trouble for her, because in the 19th century, even a doctor cannot appreciate knowledge and logic. When you add character and a sharp tongue to this, it's easy to imagine what Katja goes through at your manors or in the cottages of the sick, where the whisperer rules. To make it more difficult, the girl received an anticipatory feminist upbringing from her adoptive father, the herbalist Batka, who used to dry mushrooms in the pages of guides for well-behaved young ladies. In a word: Katja often has to mentally say a prayer to the patron saint of the patient, so that she doesn't get hit by the usual human hell. And this one hits her most often in the company of a confident, mischievous and handsome nobleman. His wit is as sharp as her intelligence, and her feisty character as tough as his military sophistication.

What fate awaits a poor girl in such a world?
