The Pomegranate Seeds

Beatriz stands in the kitchen doorway on a February morning with a coffee that has gone cold, listening to the house settle after the others have left — and thinking about Adelaide, who the day before held a folded paper packet in both hands as though it might change if she pressed it too hard.

The Apothecary and the Djinn is a cozy fantasy audiobook series set in a family pharmacy in the old town of Silves, Portugal. Beatriz inherits her father’s shop in her fifties — and with it a duty three generations old: the djinn who has lived in the courtyard well for a thousand years, and the enchanted mouras who wait in the wells of the town. She keeps all of it from the people she loves.
