In "The Black Witch Chronicles," New York Times bestselling author Laurie Forest introduces readers to Elloren Gardner, who bears a striking resemblance to her legendary grandmother, a heroine from the last Realm War. As society pressures her to embrace a magical legacy she doesn't possess, Elloren pursues her dream of becoming an apothecary at Verpax University, only to discover that the very institution may challenge her survival. With dark forces gathering and her heritage weighing heavily on her, Elloren must navigate a world where trust is scarce and danger lurks at every turn, ultimately leading her toward a secret group of rebels.
