Web serial by AT Valentine
Lianthorn Belladonna could have been so many things — an artist, a mage, a gardener. Instead, his family sealed his future, trapping him in a life of scheming, poison, and murder. On the cusp of completing his poisonous masterpiece, he makes a choice that changes everything. He flees the gilded cage of their family manor and seeks refuge in a quiet frontier town, where the name Belladonna means nothing. With his family's infamous scarlet-bound recipe book hidden away, he attempts to forget the toxins and discover the simple joy of helping people. Out on the frontier — and in the company of a red-scaled Draconian carpenter with fire powers — 'helping people' will require all his skills, including the alchemy he worked so hard to escape.
