'Moreau expertly conjures up a world of bubbling laboratories and hidden books of magic' DANIELLE GILES

In Renaissance Prague, where magic is brewed in shadowy laboratories and where astrologers discern the future in the stars, two women’s paths are fated to collide. A darkly fantastical novel perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo's The Familiar.

Anna and Katerina come from very different worlds but they share a burning ambition and a talent for the occult. When both are invited to work under the acclaimed alchemist, John Harkett, who has promised the Holy Roman Emperor that he can produce the elusive philosopher’s stone, they find themselves plunged into a male world of science, magic and bitter competition.

Whilst their new master struggles under increasing pressure from the famously mercurial Emperor, Katerina and Anna make a discovery that could change their fortunes forever.

But amidst the fever of rivalry and betrayal, will these two women raise the other to greatness, or prove the architect of their downfall?

Reviews

'A vibrant, vicious tale of forbidden secrets and the terrible power of transformation, The Alchemists brings us into the glittering excess and deadly politicking of imperial Prague. Moreau expertly conjures up a world of bubbling laboratories and hidden books of magic, where the stars might guide your fortune, but the emperor's dissapointment can cost you your head. In this febrile atmosphere, Anna and Katerina's fierce rivalry sparks off of every page, threatening to catch fire in the most delicious way'
