Green Dragon, Crimson Lion

You can listen to this audiobook in several ways: As a historical novel set during the reign of Rudolf II. in Prague, whose main protagonists are the alchemists Dee and Kelly, but other real characters play an equally important role in the story: Dee's wife Jane, Rabbi Yehuda Löw ben Bezalel and his servant Joseph, or their opponent Germanicus Malaspina, Cardinal and Bishop of San Severo, who compete in a fierce battle for a mysterious box full of red dust, they're convinced of, it's the Crimson Lion, the pinnacle of alchemy - a substance capable of turning lead into gold. Or as a pure adventure fantasy toying with the idea of transmutation, immortality and magic (the character of Fiametta, gypsy psychics, or the character of Lucian Walera Ostoji, which is also far from magic, not to mention Joseph, whom we know more as the Golem of Prague). The story is fast-paced and rightfully belongs to the Chronicles of the Crimson Stones series. Or like. You'll figure that out as you read.
