WIP Intro: Rival Potion Shops (working title)

As I wrap editing The Stray Spirit, I’m starting work on my next project! For all posts related to this, see #rival potion shops. I’ll be editing this post as I generate character intros and the setting intro.

Genre: NA Fantasy Romance

Status: exploratory writing; draft 1 starting soon!

Logline: When Eli Valenz opens a potions shop directly across the street from Ambrose Beake’s vastly superiorpotions shop, Ambrose resolves to bear it with grace. He’ll stay calm, maintain a professional distance from the obnoxious new owner, and let his own wares speak for themselves. But when the governor commissions both men to brew a potion together, Ambrose must break his own self-isolating habits, and perhaps even that professional distance he had promised himself.

Themes:rivals to lovers, friendship, opening up to others, neighbors/community, fantasy workplace, fear of the future, burnout
