The Testers: What the Poison Remembers
By Gene Scott
Poison has always been a currency of power. The ones who taste it-before others sip-carry the cost.
In 1521, Thomas Tester serves as a royal poison-taster in the court of Henry VIII. Raised by a Welsh herbalist grandmother and trained to detect what others cannot, Thomas walks the tightrope between survival and sacrifice. When an attempt on the king's life implicates his family, Thomas must decide how far he'll go to protect his son from a system that values power over truth-and knowledge only when it can be controlled.
In 2025 Appalachian Tennessee, Dr. Grace Blackwood uncovers falsified pharmaceutical data that connects a wave of overdose deaths to a century-long pattern of exploitation. As whistleblowers vanish and her own life is threatened, Grace joins forces with Caleb Tester, a recovering addict and the last in a long line of healers trained to resist harm disguised as care. What they discover is a hidden ledger, a forgotten language, and a legacy of resistance buried beneath generations of silence.
Spanning five centuries and two continents, The Testers: What the Poison Remembers weaves together Tudor-era political intrigue, Appalachian folklore, and modern-day medical conspiracy. This gripping dual-timeline novel explores the secret histories that live in bloodlines, the unrecorded testimonies passed down through herbal recipes and whispered songs, and the quiet war waged by those who choose to protect rather than profit.
As the past and present converge, the line between healing and poison blurs-and those who carry memory become the last line of defense.
Perfect for readers who love the layered storytelling of The Poisonwood Bible, the haunting resistance of The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, and the atmospheric suspense of Where the Crawdads Sing, this novel is both a page-turner and a meditation on legacy, power, and the knowledge systems meant to be erased.
When systems forget who they've silenced, it's the ones who remember that become the most dangerous.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
