The evil begins... William Godwin, a boy whose family has all just fallen to illness, is forced to serve under a wicked alchemist because of a crime he didn't commit. On one cold winter day, William came across a mother cat and her three kittens. Having pity, William took the family back to the apothecary shop. Little did he know about the cat's true destiny and path that it follows. And there, an evil tail of horror, alchemy, and murder begins.
The Alchemist's Cat is the prequel to The Dark Portal, and is also the beginning to the Deptford Mice Trilogy. This book of horror keeps its suspense, a book that keeps you reading and wanting more. Robin Jarvis has done a terrific job with this prequel. Readers of alchemy and horror will love this book.
