More than anything young alchemist Peter Woulfe wants to turn lead into gold. Until he meets the elusive and alluring Sukie one hot summer night and his life changes forever. Streetwise Sukie wants to sell a mysterious stolen book to her favourite pawnbroker Nico, until she meets his beautiful wife Katia.
A gang of dangerous men pursue the missing book through the grimy underworld of 18th century London - and Katia realises the one thing she really wants is about to disappear forever.
Everyone is burning for something ... even you.
Could an encounter with a book change your life? Could this one?
A riveting story of love and transformation that takes us back and forth through time from the raging furnaces of an alchemist's lab in Georgian London to the mists and magic of a remote Irish mountain.
