24-year-old Elodie Caraway is a herbal healer who is forbidden by her merciless husband, Lord Silas Caraway, to help others. She knows she must escape with her beloved daughter, Melissa, before her deepest darkest secret is revealed. Time is of the essence, if she is to save herself and her daughter.

So, with the help of her lifelong friend Aiden Newman, Elodie and Melissa swiftly leave Oakland Hall and head for a new life in Liverpool’s docklands, welcomed by Aiden’s aunt, Molly Hayworth.

Changing her name, Ellie dreams of following in the footsteps of her ancestors to set up an apothecary to help heal those less fortunate, and very soon her healing ability is called upon when she helps Mary-Jane Everdine bring her unborn baby safely into the world, but nobody could predict the outcome.

Nevertheless, Ellie’s tragic past is about to catch up with her. Can she save herself and her young daughter from the cruel hands of Lord Caraway before it’s too late?
