A Historical Fantasy of Healing and Transformation
When Artezo, longtime apprentice to Prague’s royal alchemist, witnesses his master’s sudden death and the miraculous transmutation of their final experiment into gold, his life is irrevocably changed. Cast out from the Royal Court and wandering in search of purpose, he finds unexpected refuge in the humble village of Louvice. There, Artezo’s skill as a physician earns him both trust and suspicion as he confronts illness, danger, and the shadows of superstition.
As Artezo rebuilds his life, a curious village boy named Irving becomes his apprentice, sparking a journey of mentorship that spans medicine, herbalism, and the ancient, perilous art of alchemy. Together, they navigate fevers, forest lore, violent encounters, and the mysteries of the heavens—all while discovering the quiet power of community, healing, and the bonds that grow between teacher and student.
Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven historical fantasy, apothecary lore, and stories of transformation, The Alchemist’s Apprentice blends wonder and grounded realism into a tale of resilience, belonging, and the magic that lives in ordinary lives.
