A forgotten story. A secret network of women. A legacy of poison and revenge. Welcome to The Lost Apothecary. Hidden in the depths of 18th century London, a secret apothecary shop serves an unusual clientele. Women in the city whisper of a mysterious figure named Nella, who sells well-concealed poisons to defend themselves against the oppressive men in their lives. But the apothecary's fate is jeopardized when her latest patron, a bright twelve-year-old girl, makes a fatal mistake that triggers a chain of consequences echoing through the centuries.

In present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, running from her own demons. When she stumbles upon a clue to the unsolved apothecary murders that plagued London two hundred years ago, her path crosses with that of the apothecary in a stunning twist of fate – and not everyone will survive.

With crackling tension, unforgettable characters, and burning insights, The Lost Apothecary is a subversive and intoxicating debut novel about secrets, revenge, and the remarkable ways women can save each other despite the barriers of time. Don't miss The London Séance Society, Sarah's next gripping book about truth, illusion, and the great risks women will take to avenge those they love.
