I myself have enjoyed reading this very special novel. Many also learned. The story takes place in two different centuries. The main characters are Théogène and Victoire. He is a young alchemist shy and awkward, she is a bright young woman promised to a future of great reporter. By the discovery of an old book on alchemy Victory destiny will be forever changed and connected to the fate of Théogène.
History lovers, mysteries and strange atmospheres and if you are more eager for new knowledge this incredible novel is for you!
