SORCERER: A NOVEL OF QUEEN ELIZABETH'S ALCHEMIST Praised by Top Authors

The year is 1584. John Dee, the greatest scholar of his age, has turned from reputable science to forbidden magic.

In partnership with a visionary rogue, an ex-nun and a court beauty, he flees across Europe, dogged by the Inquisition and a relentless assassin.

Finally, Dee's magic seems to yield fruit. In a vision, angels (or are they demons?) promise to reveal the secret of transmuting lead into gold.

There is only one hitch: Dee and his companions must first commit an unforgivable sin.

Advance Praise:

"An intricate tapestry of the historical and the alchemical that casts an authentic spell over the reader. A vivid tale vigorously told."
Ramsey Campbell, award-winning novelist and lifetime president of the British Fantasy Society.

"A rip-roaring tour of the occult, Elizabethan-style, in this historical novel laced with humor, mystery and menace."
Ross King, bestselling author of Domino and Leonardo and the Last Supper

"James brings the story to light with the ease and elegance of a master storyteller who is also intimately familiar with his subject magic."
Lon Milo Duquette, author of Enochian Vision Magick

Available in paperback and ebook formats.
