Following a series of murders, an apothecary’s apprentice must solve puzzles and decipher codes in pursuit of a secret that could destroy the world in this suspenseful debut novel.

Christopher Rowe, apprentice to master apothecary Benedict Blackthorn, is learning all his master’s secrets - like how to decipher complex codes and puzzles and how to transform simple ingredients into powerful medicines, potions, and weapons.

Christopher’s beloved master guides him with a firm, steady hand - a confidence even more vital as Christopher learns of a mysterious cult preying on London’s apothecaries. The murders grow closer and closer to Blackthorn’s shop - until Christopher is torn from his home with only a cryptic message and a warning from his master: “Tell no one what I’ve given you”.

Aided by his best friend, Tom, Christopher must race to decipher his master’s message - and follow a trail of deceit toward an unearthly secret with the power to tear the world apart.
