Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2515

When the leader goes astray, the whole line falters. From the looks of it, Sovereign's Apothecary seems to be heading downhill, too."

He continued, "Meanwhile, my family is at a point where we're ready to soar. Sovereign's Apothecary's elixirs' quality and inflated prices can't keep up with our family's needs. So frankly, we'd rather not do this business at all."
