Alchemy’s Daughter, Book Two of the Alchemy Series, tells the story of Santina Pietra—the original owner of the Book of Mysteries.  As a precocious twelve-year-old, Santina is introduced to the world of alchemy and herbal remedies by Friar Calandrino.  She is expected to set aside her fascination with the ancient science as well as her talent for midwifery when she comes of age and marries.  Though she strives to fulfill her duty as a wife and mother, she cannot easily deny her passion for alchemy or those who seek her skill as a healer.  When the plague strikes, Santina is forced to choose between obeying her husband and becoming a master alchemist.

Alchemy’s Daughter is a delightful and intriguing adventure, an absolute reading pleasure.
