The Alchemist of Paris

‘I remembered a word I had heard the monks say. A word that was rich and alluring, a word describing something I knew to be wrong, but which I knew was exactly what lay in the pages before me. Alchemy.’ Diary of Elise du Bois, Paris, France, 1820

In the heart of modern Paris is an old house – a house that has been hidden for almost two hundred years. The only clue to its secrets lies in a nineteenth century diary. When research student Ellie opens the door, she will discover not just an ancient mystery, but a tale of magic, betrayal – and immortal love, spanning the centuries.
