Viola. The Wither Chronicles, #2

In which a ballerina, an abuse victim, and a war veteran walk into a mystical bar.  A mystical pub appears to those who need it most, run by an angel cloaked in darkness who is not what she seems and her two bartenders, a gentle man made of crystal and a harbinger of memories full of life despite being from the realm of the in-between. If given a drink to either remember or forget all of your troubles, which one will you choose? Kiara is a ballerina with a mother who does not support her dream.
She fears she will no longer be able to dance after an accident leaves her bedridden.  Luca has been in an abusive relationship for a long time, and he is unable to leave. His hope is running thin. Carlisle has no one but his best friend who happens to be a cat. He still holds onto his terrifying memories from his time in the war, unable to find inner peace.  They all end up at Pub Viola, and their lives are changed forever as they enter a world full of mysteries, where souls and Grim Reapers roam amongst the living, working under a ten-year-old who holds great resentment for those who wronged her in the past.  The Wither Chronicles is an anthology series in which extraordinary places with a magical twist appear to those who most need them, from a hotel for ghosts, a pub that can solve your problems with a drink, to a time-traveling association run by Timekeepers working under Lady Time.
Each story follows a different cast of characters dealing with various life hurdles.
