Editor's Note:
"Not only have I found myself alone, homeless, almost penniless in a strange hospital, but I've discovered that my husband is accused of killing our son — an unthinkable act unless another truth exists. The Siege of Calais, 1558 - It all began to go wrong after my family and I were caught in battle, my father was killed outright and my family was gravely injured. When given a healing potion by John Dee, a family friend, we were saved, but unbeknownst to us all, it came at a steep price - immortality! London, 1977 - I woke up in a hospital my memory shattered, my voice gone. A myriad of questions rushed through my mind, but one driving thought was paramount—my son was like us, he was immortal. To prove my husband was no murderer I had to find my son, but to do so, I must regain my voice... and my memory - and face a truth that my mind is hiding from me... Inspired by true historical events, this emotional, heartbreaking story follows Joan's journey to confront her past and reclaim her life in this first book in the series ‘The Elixir Chronicles’ a 20th-century easy-to-read historical fiction saga."
