Piers Corbin has always been drawn to poison plants, men, and the trouble they bring. As a child, her brush with pokeweed berries ended in a stranger’s death. As a wife, her husband’s dark appetites nearly ended hers. Faking her death seemed like the only escape.
In the mountains with her estranged aunt, Piers discovers her curse is a gift. She is a Bane Witch, descended from women who consume toxins and use their magic to purge the world of cruel men.
Balancing shifts at a small-town café with a dangerously growing body count, Piers plays the role of a grieving widow while flirting with a sheriff who suspects too much. But when a local serial killer turns his gaze on her, the hunter risks becoming the prey. Who will poison whom first?
