Welcome to Eli’s Elixorium, your one-stop potion shop…

Kennard Froste has come a long way from the kitchens of Draghof Keep to opening his first elixorium, where locals can sip tea, buy healing salves, or order a hand-crafted invisibility draught. He and his gnome wife, Nymiphi, have sunk their life savings into the shop, and nothing will stop them from making it a success. Not the outrageous taxes or permit fees. Not the strain it’s put on their marriage. Not even a horde of the undead.

It will take a staggering amount of holy water to combat the zombie legion, and only Kennard is equipped to handle it. As the town becomes overrun with animated corpses, it’s up to Kennard, Nymiphi, and an orc blacksmith and her elven wife to defeat the necromancer in their midst. Even if it means making the biggest sacrifice.

M.P. Tayle

M.P. Tayle (Matthew Taylor) spent years as a Cyber Operations Sergeant in the United States Army, which is a fancy way of saying he knows exactly how technology can go sideways — and loves writing stories about what happens when it does. He's the author of the Jax Jensen Trilogy and writes science fiction and fantasy that's equal parts adventure, heart, and "oh no, that could actually happen."

When not writing, he's rolling dice over Warhammer 40,000, drawing on Procreate, and being bossed around by a Maltipoo who thinks she runs the house.
