Brimstone
by Skinner, Alan
At the age of 14, Jenny Swift is torn from her home deep in the forest to become apprenticed to
the master alchemist Richard Antrobus. Jenny’s mother was a healer from the East who has taught
her well and from whom she inherits her exotic looks. But this difference means that she faces suspicion
and distrust as she is drawn into a plot to throw the world into chaos. Not only does Jenny
have to fight to stay alive amid the treachery and intrigue that surrounds the court of the Regus,
but she finds her friendships and loyalties tested to the full. Forced to seek the key to the greatest
secrets of the alchemists, Jenny discovers the power that lies within her – skills which could make
her the greatest alchemist of any age.
