The Goddess, the Scientist, and the Elixir - Paperback

by Claudia Linwood (Author)

When a man hungry for knowledge breaches the veil between the mortal world and the occult, can he survive an unleashed horror?

Lord Remy is determined to prove his worth. Yet a devastating complication throws Remy's plans into a tailspin, and his aspirations hurtle him toward oblivion. But just as he lays hands on the last artifact in an ancient trunk, he's horrified when it all goes catastrophically wrong, and he flees from an inexplicable monstrosity.

Chasing clues to his eldritch discovery and obsessed with the radiant goddess, Remy struggles to determine whether the powerful beings he encounters afterwards are agents of good or harbingers of evil. But upon achieving his aspirations, he encounters setbacks that are both devastating and deadly. Can Remy muster the courage to face down the very essence of malevolence?
