**Christopher Rowe is back and there are more puzzles, riddles, and secrets to uncover in this follow-up to the Indie Next pick _The Blackthorn Key_, which was called a "spectacular debut" by _Kirkus Reviews_ in a starred review.**

A mysterious prophet predicts the city's ultimate doom--until an unknown apothecary arrives with a cure that actually works. Christopher's Blackthorn shop is chosen to prepare the remedy.

And as the sickness strikes close to home, the stakes are higher than ever before...
