The Alchemist of Aleppo - Paperback

by Marie K. Savage (Author)

We were young. you were dying. and I was desperate. So, I rearranged the world.

When Michael Samaan and Kat Musgrave meet by the display case of a fourteenth century glass goblet at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, they know immediately that they are deeply connected-to each other and to the goblet. But neither one understands what that connection means. Through a series of uncovered books and recovered memories, Michael, a British art historian, and Kat, an American geneticist, work together to peel back the layers of history-and their past lives-to find answers. Ultimately, they discover that the goblet's mysterious maker, known in the past as the Alchemist of Aleppo, infused the glass with the essence of his and his dying wife's souls and with the magical promise of love renewed at some future date. But the two scholars aren't the only ones enthralled by the museum piece and the goblet isn't the only magical object created in the alchemist's furnace.

Spanning centuries, THE ALCHEMIST OF ALEPPO bends the space-time continuum of souls forever bound together and embodies our fascination with what science can't explain and money can't buy.
