She is a lamia; her serpentine body and features set her apart, inspiring prejudice from the local villages. Despite this, she does her best to serve as an apothecary, helping and healing those who look down on her. That is, until she meets Leo, who saves her from being thrown out of a tavern and from some unsavory ne’er-do-wells in the process. She finds that a hunter with a tormented past and uncertain future has entered her life. Leo finds someone worth conquering his ghosts for and protecting against a cruel world. Set against a cozy countryside backdrop, with painful loss, human prejudices, and scheming villains lurking behind the placid facade. Together, our couple carves out a life while she shows him he is a better man than he believes, and he shows her she is worthy of the love and happiness she craves.
