The Alchemy Thief
Pirates & Puritans Book 1
A remarkable novel inspired by a fascinating but little-known piece of history.
LOST AT SEA - In the 17th century numerous men, women, and children embarked on voyages never to be heard from again. Their loved ones were left to hope and despair, while their descendants were left to wonder.
What if you could travel back in time and learn the fate of your ancestors?
1657: Thomas Mayhew, Jr bid farewell to his English family and his friends among the indigenous peoples of Martha’s Vineyard, taking a young Wampanoag man on a voyage to London. They never returned, no tidings ever coming from the ship or its passengers.
2019: Peri Fuller finds a relic off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, engraved with a mysterious symbol. During a sudden storm, Peri is transported back in time, where she meets her ancestor, Thomas Mayhew.
But Peri is not the only person who has traveled back in time. After discovering an identical relic in Morocco, a modern criminal joins the Barbary corsairs in the 17th century.
Thrust into a world of alchemists, pirates, and djinns, Peri learns of a diabolical plot in the past that threatens the future.
Inspired by the adventures of the author’s ancestors, The Alchemy Thief is a novel of love, forgiveness, and the unexpected journeys that help us find our true home.
