Immortality and magic, a gift and a curse.
Aella Saluagius is a powerful elemental witch gifted with immortality who has unleashed vengeance on centuries of misogyny and the men who wronged women throughout history.
Having witnessed the repercussions of romantic love, she thought herself immune to its temptation. But Cupid's arrow strikes when she sees the bewitching Maso Grimani in 17th century London.
The Puritan witch burnings are over and men have a new pursuit with the King's blessing — the quest for gold and the Elixir of Life. But within Alchemy's allure lies a profound mystery, for the seekers have no notion of the consequences it may bring. When Maso reveals his deepest desires, Aella tastes the formidable power of love for herself. Persuaded by his charms, she can deny him nothing, her magic the key to their shared fortunes.
Her loyalty is tested when those she loves are endangered; she will stop at nothing to guarantee their safety. But within her power lies great responsibility. Aella stands at a crossroads, uncertain which path to take.
Immortality and magic now demand the highest price.

I am originally from a small market town in the South of England but a few years ago, my husband and I upped sticks and left Blighty for rugged and rural France. We'd had enough of the rat race and decided to jump, with both feet, into a different, but much simpler existence.
In my previous life, I was an English teacher to students who needed a bit of extra help to learn. I loved my job, the students being the highlight of my days.
Nowadays my time is spent writing, sporadically helping my husband renovate our old stone farmhouse, and looking after two enormous dogs. The amount of dribble I wipe up on a daily basis is remarkable, from the dogs, not my husband!
