Once upon a time, there was a woman, a wife and mother, who was a master of herbs and tinctures. She lived in a small cottage in a small village where superstition filled the air like fog. Her husband, a war hero, succumbed to an infection after returning home with one less appendage. The woman’s potions failed to save him, leaving her a widow and her son fatherless. The villagers began to twist her healing into something sinister.
