The Poison Paradox by Hadley Field EPUB

What price is too high to pay for those you love?

Prince Alaric breaks the laws of the gods and his kingdom to bring his brother back from death, but the price is higher than he could have imagined. Exiled, slowly corrupted, and with a brother more shadow than man, he seeks the only man able to fully revive his brother...another exile, his father's former mage, Eamon.

Once the most powerful mage in the kingdom, Eamon vanished years ago. Some say he died, some say he disappeared in a plume of smoke...and others in his hometown of Lithglau whisper the mage brought a young girl back to life.

When Alaric finds Eamon, he's nothing like he expected. For one thing, he's an ogre. For another, he flat-out refuses to help a spoiled prince.

Alaric and his brother are running out of time.

Driven to desperation, Alaric forces the former mage's hand before he realizes the price of a cure for his brother will come at the expense of his own life.

A life that, in Eamon's ramshackle village, he's beginning to enjoy for the first time.

Can he cure his brother without cursing himself? Or will crafting this potion bring only a brief reprieve from the loneliness that plagues him and Eamon both?

The longer Alaric spends in the village in the woods, the more he falls for Eamon—and the more determined he is to change both his and his brother’s fate, no matter the price.

The Potion Paradox features repressed longing disguised as disdain, blessings disguised as curses, curses disguised as blessings, and a very nosy woodland nymph who wants to win a baking competition and doesn't care what ogres she needs to annoy to win it.
