1560, Rouen. While the religious war between Catholics and Protestants rages
on, Johannes Balsamo, an alchemist doctor, continues to initiate Martin into the
art of elixirs. For the young apprentice, things seemed simple and his path was
clear. But his destiny is about to shake him up. Soon forced to flee persecution,
Martin goes into exile.
Forced to protect his knowledge and to slip through the cracks of an evil prowling
all over Europe, what paths will Martin have to take to accomplish the Great
Work and obtain the Philosopher’s Stone, the Mother of all medicines?
