About the book
About The Poison Paradox A Cozy Fantasy for Ogres and Sunbeams
The dose makes the poison. And the cure Prince Alaric seeks for his brother is more dangerous than the curse that plagues him. With nowhere else to turn, he tracks down his father's exiled mage only to discover that the great mage Eamon is now an ogre who's far more interested in his gardens, adopted daughter, and grumbling about all the outcast magical creatures who seem to flock to him than a quest to save any prince. Can Alaric change his mind? Or will they both find something more elusive (and dangerous): a remedy to the loneliness that plagues them both, a loneliness that neither potions or magic can heal? The Potion Paradox is a cozy fantasy novel featuring repressed longing disguised as disdain, blessings disguised as curses, curses disguised as blessings, and a very nosy woodland nymph who really wants to win a baking competition - and doesn't care what ogres she needs to annoy in order to win it.
