AMBROSIA
A fantasy novel in which a grieving widow must infiltrate a prestigious, cutthroat order of alchemist scientists after discovering that her husband's "suicide" was actually a murder, the iron in his blood having been turned into gold.
Alchemy is considered the most prestigious of scientific studies, but Li Shen sees it as a curse. Recently widowed and bereft at the news of her husband's inexplicable suicide, Li comes to discover the true cause of his death: the iron in his blood was alchemically transformed into gold.
Since her husband was a tenured alchemist at the esteemed Order of Alchemic Science, a research branch of the University of Quartë, the only one who could have pulled off this method of murder had to be one of his colleagues. Li means to gather clues, but there's just one problem: women are not permitted entry into the Order, as it is widely believed they do not have the intelligence, constitution,
nor ambition to handle the study.
Fueled by grief and with no other means, Li disguises herself as a man and infiltrates her way onto campus grounds under the guise of an alchemic scientist. Her list of suspects is short, but the deeper she investigates, the more twists and turns she encounters. Under constant threat of discovery, Li must use every means necessarybe it manipulation, kidnapping, or blackmail - if she hopes to avenge her husband's death.
Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House and the Fullmetal Alchemist series, AMBROSIA, a clever murder mystery wrapped in a fantasy, explores themes of feminine rage in a world where magic and science are one.
Katrina Kwan is a contemporary romance and fantasy. After graduating from Acadia University in 2017 with a BA in political science with honors, Kwan spent the next six years honing her creative skills as a freelance ghostwriter. With several ghostwritten romance novels under her belt, she's ecstatic to finally be writing books under her own name. She lives in Vancouver with her husband and two cats, and when she isn't writing, she is desperately trying to keep her collection of houseplants alive.
