Description
Night. An empty highway. The car stalled, and Agatha can only hope for a miracle. Searching for help, she discovers a house where a mysterious Apothecary lives—one who helps her get out. But this isn’t a happy ending; it’s only the beginning of the story. Soon, Agatha realizes she’s been trapped: someone invisible and unknown is taking revenge on her for something she can’t understand. Terrifying—and even monstrous—events start happening to her. Nowhere feels safe, and she trusts no one anymore—not her friend, not her beloved man, and not even herself. The whole world is against her, and no one will save her except herself. Strangely enough, every thread she pulls leads back to the Apothecary. And that’s the biggest mystery. Who is he—savior or villain? It seems he is “part of that force which eternally wants evil and eternally accomplishes good.”
