Viper Wine
by Hermione Eyre - Fiction

Venetia Stanley was the great beauty of her day but now fears her powers are waning. Her devoted husband refuses to prepare a beauty tonic for her, insisting on her continued perfection. Growing desperate, Venetia secretly engages an apothecary to sell her “viper wine” --- a strange potion said to bolster the blood and invigorate the skin. But there is a terrible price to be paid, as science clashes with magic, puritans rebel against the decadent monarchy, and England slides into civil war.
