Potions Unincorporated

In this cozy fantasy debut, a chronically ill witch attempts to rescue her familiar and take down the pharma corporation with a monopoly on chronic pain potions.

Set in a queer-normative world, this low-stakes fantasy will appeal to fans of TJ Klune and the grumpy-sunshine romance of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.

Linatta Mosset is lonely. Save for her familiar, a cat named Toad, nobody in town understands the challenge of managing a complex chronic illness. So, secluded in her cottage, Linatta brews potions to ease her symptoms. With the help of Potions Incorporated, her surplus potions are distributed and sold across the continent.

But her quiet life implodes when Potions Inc. guilts her into accepting a massive order. Stressed and exhausted, Linatta returns home from collecting ingredients to discover that Toad is missing. She’s horrified to find a ransom note demanding a lifetime supply of her brew in exchange for his safe return. Marik, the infuriatingly charming kidnapper, softens Linatta’s anger with his plight: his sister desperately needs Linatta’s potion and can’t afford it.

Linatta offers Marik a deal: if he gives Toad back and helps her fulfill Potion Inc.’s order, she’ll give him her precious potion recipe. As the pair forage for ingredients, their shared passion for plants causes new feelings to sprout. But Potions Inc. doesn’t want Linatta’s recipe getting out, and they’re willing to play dirty to get what they want.

With much-needed chronic illness rep and a cozy atmospheric setting, Potions Unincorporated is perfect for anyone who longs for connection and their own chosen family.
