商品簡介
A heart-racing debut that Booklist calls "an engaging concoction of fantasy, romance, and historical fiction,” now in trade paperback!
Thea Hope has been trained her entire life in the magic and science of alchemy. When she and her mother are close to finally creating the legendary Philosopher's Stone―whose properties include immortality and turning any metal into gold―Thea's mother succumbs to a sudden, violent madness and destroys the Stone.
Desperate to save her mother, Thea uncovers a curse that causes anyone who tries to make the Stone lose their sanity. When her warnings are dismissed, and another alchemist falls victim to the curse with deadly consequences, Thea and her friends are forced to flee to keep her knowledge from falling into the wrong hands. But there are people who will stop at nothing to have the Stone for themselves, and Thea has no choice but to create the Stone in order to save the people she loves.
Then Thea starts hearing voices, and seeing things that may not actually be there―including a shadowy figure that haunts the corner of her eye. As she gets pulled in by the Stone, she realizes her time is running out. Thea must learn how to defeat the curse before she becomes it's next victim.
Samantha Cohoe's fantastic debut, A Golden Fury, weaves a story of magic and danger, where the curse of the Philosopher's Stone will haunt you long after the final page.
