Vera runs a hush bar in Locq, where she serves elixirs to patrons craving a taste of forbidden magic. It's the family business, and she's determined to keep it open, despite the risks. Elsie has grown up her whole life hearing how dangerous elixirs are—which is why her parents helped ban them years ago. But when Elsie's sister goes missing, Elsie has no choice but to venture into the magical underground she fears. Part mystery, part star-crossed romance, Elixir is the story of what happens when you fall for the last person you should.
