Researching obscure bits of archaic lore and writing best-selling novels is everyday life for Arthur Pax. Arthur spent most of his life reading and learning about forgotten folklore and mythologies from around the globe. However, that's just his day job. He also helps fight the forces of darkness and depravity as a member of a secret order of Alchemists only spoken of in academic circles. Everything was absolutely normal for Arthur, until one evening at the local watering hole - Enter the Dame! She brought a simple missing persons case that could have everlasting consequences. The inaugural book of the Arthur Pax series combines a bit of alchemy, a touch of mythology, and a smattering of history, spinning a story that will delight and educate readers.
