Apothecary — Patricia Simpson

A courageous herbalist attracts the attention of a powerful Overseer during the first insurrection in Londo City in 300 years.

In five short days, Joanna Wilder's wayward sister will marry a government-selected groom and cease to be Joanna's responsibility. At last! But things don't go according to plan. Joanna's sister vanishes, a riot rocks Londo, and Joanna attracts the attention of a powerful Overseer. The last thing Joanna wants is to attract attention -- if she has any hope of saving her sister.

Step back to an alternate Victorian London during a nuclear winter, where humans are governed by mysterious Overseers, citizens are repressed with rations and curfews and no one dares venture out at night.
