In the mid sixteenth century, Henry VIII sits on the throne, and
Bianca Goddard tends to the sick and suffering in London's slums,
where disease can take a life as quickly as murder. . . For years,
alchemist Ferris Stannum has devoted himself to developing the
Elixir of Life, the reputed serum of immortality. Having tested his
remedy successfully on an animal, Stannum intends to send his
alchemy journal to a colleague in Cairo for confirmation. Instead
he is strangled in his bed and his journal is stolen. As the
daughter of an alchemist herself, Bianca is well acquainted with
the mystical healing arts. As her husband, John, falls ill with the
sweating sickness, she dares to hope Stannum's journal could
contain the secret to his recovery. But first she must solve the
alchemist's murder. As she ventures into a world of treachery and
deceit, Stannum's death proves to be only the first in a series of
murders--and Bianca's quest becomes a matter of life and death, not
only for her husband, but for herself. . .
