A Witch's Guide to Love and Poison

Bisma knows three things to be true: the Enchanted Forest will always be her home, she would go to the ends of the Earth to protect her sisters, and Xander Chapman is the most irritating guy she''s ever met. Since finding a home in the Enchanted Forest, Bisma - a garden witch with a penchant for potions - has always been protective of other runaways. So, if a drop of one of her poisons finds its way into the porridge of those who have hurt them . . . that''s none of her business. But Xander, the charmingly handsome son of the apothecary, sees things differently and is fast becoming known for creating cures - much to Bisma''s annoyance. When her sisters are poisoned themselves, Bisma will need to put her feelings aside and enlist Xander''s help to find out who is responsible and save the only family she has, before it''s too late. Aamna Qureshi has woven a beautiful, warm and rich world of magic in this charming new cosy YA fantasy.
