A mother becomes the continent's sole wolfsbane healer after her Alpha mate lets their daughter die.
Ten years earlier in Healing Grove, the protagonist's daughter succumbed to wolfsbane while her Alpha father carried the only existing antidote to his childhood sweetheart's daughter, who needed it merely for a scraped knee. The mother shattered the mate bond and disappeared into the Herbalist Guild, spending a decade mastering forbidden herbalism until she emerged as the continent's only witch able to neutralize the rare poison. The Elder Council then summoned her with a million-coin bounty to save a poisoned girl, but the patient's portrait triggered an immediate refusal.
