Izvalta

Alchemy requires sacrifice, and Petra knows all about that. She’s given up family, home, sanity – for a man she thought was a wizard.

But that sacrifice might be in vain. Izvalta’s sociopathic king is on a murderous quest for immortality and foreigners have come searching for her secrets. Among them is a young man who might just uncover the true identity of the boy who lives with her in the wolf wood – a boy who says he’s made of clay.

Izvalta is a century-spanning dark fantasy set against the backdrop of a Carpathian society on the brink of upheaval, where modern values are displacing the old, but a strange woman might still be burned as a witch.
