The Lady Alchemist

By: Samantha Vitale

Narrated by: Hallie Ricardo

In a land torn between magic and alchemy, Sepha is an exceptional alchemist, able to bend the rules in ways no one else can. But when a slip of the tongue lands her in prison with a mountain of straw, even she has to admit that she can't transmute straw into gold. With the threat of a death sentence hanging over her, she's forced to make a deal with a conniving magician.

Sepha escapes with her life - but at a cost: she has one year to alchemically create a body for the magician, or else her firstborn child will be his. As Sepha's deadline approaches, she uncovers a deadly secret. How can she save her country when the body she owes the magician will be used to destroy it?

well written

thoroughly enjoyed 😁👍🏽
totally recommend. cant wait for the sequel.
characters well developed. i hope its picked up by Netfix!

Great fast read! Need a little magic?

This was a great debut book. I love that it was a spin/re telling continuation of Rumplestiltskin. I needed a new series with magic in it. I have already recommended this to friends and my bookclub.

The Best

Loved it. One of the best all around. Can't wait for more books from this author.

Hallie Ricardo is awesome

Really liked the performance by Ricardo, character distinction and emotional inflictions were spot on. Would love to find more books narrated by her.

Beware of losing sleep with this tale

Thought it might be a mildly amusing take on an old fairy tale. But then the story engulfed my imagination and I couldn't stop listening. Wonderful prose, interesting plot twists and very developed characters. I blame the author for a lost night's sleep, but still look forward to a sequel, please.
