Publisher's Synopsis
She wanted nothing to do with the supernatural...until him.
In Victorian England, the Silver Order has kept its supernatural discoveries hidden for centuries. Those who seek its secrets must always pay a price...
When her father's death puts his estate in her hands, Hazel Grey must return to the home she ran away from as a child. Tucked away in the mystical landscape of the Malvern Hills, notorious for its ancient pagan past, Whitestone Manor is the headquarters of the Silver Order, the enigmatic secret society Hazel has both hated and feared. She's never believed the Silver Order's claim to power: an ability to see into the future. But when the property becomes so sought-after that a young stranger, Theo Pierce, offers a small fortune and a lifelong friend offers her his hand, all to obtain it, Hazel begins to reconsider...
Years ago, Theo Pierce's family was forced to sell Whitestone Manor to Miss Grey's father. Ever since, he's dedicated his life to winning it back and redeeming his family's honor-no matter the cost. When a snowstorm traps him and Miss Grey within the manor, it becomes the perfect opportunity to win her trust and, more importantly, the estate. But the deeper Theo pulls her into his world of secret laboratories, botanical mysteries, and crystal alchemy, the more he begins to want something other than redemption.
Soon, everything Hazel once believed is called into question. A crude and shocking vision reveals that a romantic tryst with Mr. Pierce is inevitable. Rather than fight it, she finally decides to put aside her cynicism and give into fate. But as she starts to uncover the truth behind her father's death and the secret society's darkest secrets, secrets about herself unravel too, secrets that threaten to keep her a prisoner of the Silver Order for good.
The Crystal Alchemist is a Gothic romance perfect for fans of Amanda Quick and Adalyn Grace.
