The Potion Diaries
“Suddenly everyone is craning for a better look. It’s clear that my theory is correct, even as I get squashed out to the edge of the circle. The Princess has risen and is standing by the mirror now, smiling and chatting to her reflection. She doesn’t look ill at all. In fact she looks . . . radiant.
Renel clears his throat, trying to take back some control of the crowd. ‘Yes, yes, well done, Kemi.’ He glares at me. ‘Princess Evelyn was poisoned by a love potion we believe she made by her own hand.’ Unbelievable. Love potions are dangerous – not to mention, illegal – and the original recipe was wiped from existence by Royal decree well over a century ago.

I didn’t think it was possible for Royals to mix ...their own potions.MoreLess
