📖 The Story

Larkspur Lee arrived in Paris determined to leave her past behind.

Now a student at Université Meurdrac, one of the few surviving universities dedicated to alchemy, Lark is desperate to prove herself worthy of immortality.

But success at Meurdrac demands ambition, cunning and sacrifice.

Everything changes when Petronelle Flamel, the university's seemingly immortal headmistress, is found dead.

Her impossible murder sends the institution into chaos.

A mysterious investigator named Violaine arrives to uncover the truth, suspecting that a dangerous organisation known as the Promethean Genesis is responsible.

Unfortunately for Lark, she knows far more about the Prometheans than she's willing to admit.

Once a member herself, she's spent years trying to escape their influence.

When the mentor she fled across an ocean to avoid returns, her carefully constructed new life begins to unravel.

As dark secrets emerge and her feelings for Violaine deepen, Lark finds herself caught between her ambition, her dangerous past and the truth behind the university's most sinister mysteries.

And with the Prometheans' plans moving towards a terrifying conclusion, survival may demand more than either woman is prepared to sacrifice.
