Fate (John Murray £18.99) is the second book in L R Fredericks’ loosely
linked Time and Light series. It’s
due out next month. This is the story of Lord Francis Damory’s quest for the
elixir of immortality.
“Set against the magnificent background of
the eighteenth century where science and magic, death and beauty meet in the
gilded salons of the decadent nobility and the brothels and debtors’ prisons of
London, Francis tells of his many love affairs and his deadly duels, his
encounters with courtesans and castrati, alchemists and anatomists,
Rosicrucians, visionaries, monsters, charlatans, spies and assassins. His
travels take him through France, across the Alpine passes to Venice and the
pirate-infested Mediterranean Sea to Egypt, Cyprus and distant, exotic
Constantinople on the trail of his mysterious ancestor Tobias – who might, just
possibly, still be alive…”
