In a country divided between humans and witchers Venus Stoneheart hustles as a brewer making
illegal love potions to support her family. Love potions is a dangerous business. Brewing has
painful debilitating side effects and getting caught means death or a prison sentence. But
what Venus is most afraid of is the dark sentient magic within her. Then an enemy's iron
bullet kills her mother Venus's life implodes. Keeping her reckless little sister Janus safe
is now her responsibility. When the powerful Grand Witcher the ruthless head of her coven
offers Venus the chance to punish her mother's killer she has to pay a steep price for
revenge. The cost? Brew poisonous potions to enslave D.C.'s most influential politicians. As
Venus crawls deeper into the corrupt underbelly of her city the line between magic and power
blurs and it's hard to tell who to trust...Herself included. The Poisons We Drink is a potent
YA debut about a world where love potions are weaponized against hate and prejudice sisterhood
is unbreakable and self-love is life and death.
