Thea and her mother are alchemists. Her mother makes the Philosopher’s stone and destroys in it in rage because she goes mad. Thea flees France and goes to her father with her mother’s notes. Her father doesn’t know he has a daughter though. There she befriends Dominic. Stuff goes awry and in the end Thea is forced to make the stone and have the chance to go mad.
I really enjoyed A Golden Fury. It was really engaging and I loved the places the book took us. I loved the suspense and the characters. The book was slow at times, but definitely worth it.
