The Alchemist of the Sea
(2023)(The fifth book in the Alchemist's Passage series)
A novel by M C Dulac
A seafaring mystery set two centuries apart.
In 1802, a sudden tempest blows the sailing ship Orpheus into the port of Batavia, Java. There Captain Matthew Barrett takes on a last minute cargo—a mysterious engraved box, with strict orders not to look inside.
In 1984, alchemist Ellie Forrest joins an expedition to find the long-lost wreck of the Orpheus. Ellie soon fears the wreck contains an ancient elixir—a substance so powerful it continues to influence sailors and the sea.
Separated by time, Ellie and Matthew must resist alchemy’s deadly allure. With the expedition’s mysterious benefactor getting ever closer, Ellie must solve the mystery of what happened during the last days of the Orpheus, and discover what lies under the waves.
But when alchemy and magic converge with the heart, the truth will always be unexpected.
