The Alchemist's Lost Treasure

More about the book

This family saga delves into the enduring bonds of love and the darker emotions of jealousy and fear that can fracture them. The narrative unfolds in two timelines: the 17th century and the present day, spanning generations. Ethan Hawkins, a 17th-century alchemist, discovers a sacred crystal with mystical powers that expands his awareness and imagination. He documents his experiences in a diary, but a series of events leads him to curse the crystal and hide it deep in the forest. Years later, his twin sons, Jeremiah and Benjamin, find the crystal, only to be consumed by its unpredictable nature. As centuries pass, the crystal's power remains dormant until Ethan's descendant, Izzy Rhodes, and his friend, scientist Will Davenport, stumble upon it in modern times. They face treachery and peril as they seek to uncover the crystal's mysteries and locate the lost diary. Izzy's brother, Levi, harbors secrets that threaten to be revealed if Izzy finds the diary first. Meanwhile, Will becomes entangled in a dangerous terrorist plot, all while exploring the connections between the physical and metaphysical realms. The stakes are high: can Izzy and Will uncover the truth in time to protect themselves and their loved ones?
