The Hidden Grove, The Alchemical Chronicles Book 2

An insightful clerk at the British Museum, Clara Whitmore didn't anticipate her life being upended by a single manuscript. But when the mysterious Codex Arcanum draws her into a web of occult intrigue, she finds herself hunted by assassins, courted by secret societies, and entangled in a long-standing battle for forbidden knowledge. As Clara deciphers the codex's cryptic symbols, she uncovers a hidden grove, as well as a miraculous elixir and a shadowy legacy stretching from the courts of Prague to the misty streets of London. Accompanied by the gifted Lysandra Riviere, and the enigmatic Sebastian Grey, Clara must outwit the ruthless circle of Marci, an order seeking to reclaim the power they believe is rightfully theirs. As murder breaks out in the museum, and the line blurs between science and sorcery, Clara must decide who she can trust-and how much she is willing to sacrifice to protect profound, world-changing secrets. The second installment of Tasmin Turner's spellbinding historical mystery series, The Hidden Grove is rich with atmosphere, real-life figures, and a heroine who must navigate the crosswords of otherworldly knowledge, power and destiny.
