The Alchemy of Thorns

By Stephen Jankiewicz

In a fantastical England of magic and gunpowder, a dark tale of power and love unfolds...In Windsor Castle, men drown in the fluid flesh of ghosts. The Queen of England asks the decadent Countess of Bath to investigate the growing practice of alchemy in the realm. Through crumbling cathedrals and a cursed university, Countess Bloom uncovers the plots of the Goat Kings, creatures working towards the birth of a terrible demon. Her greatest enemy, though, may be her own heart, for she is drawn to one of the mysterious tree-like soldiers known as Thorns. In the ancient city of Canterbury, secrets will be revealed - but is it too late to save the realm from the alchemists and their army of ghosts?
