A chance for a new beginning in Portland, Oregon. A stowaway from Paris. Can alchemist Zoe Faust solve the mystery of an ancient book in time to save her new friend? Don't miss the first novel in the award-winning series from USA Today bestselling author Gigi Pandian!
The Accidental Alchemist (Book 1): Unpacking her belongings in her new fixer-upper house, alchemist Zoe Faust discovers a stowaway. Dorian is a living, breathing gargoyle―not to mention a master of French cuisine―and he needs Zoe's expertise to unlock the secrets of a centuries-old text that may save his life. Zoe is trying to put her old life behind her, but how can she say no to her new friend who's turning to stone?
The Masquerading Magician (Book 2): Time is running out for living gargoyle Dorian Robert-Houdin, the three-and-a-half-foot gargoyle chef who fancies himself a modern-day Poirot—and who is slowly turning into stone. When Zoe gives herself a rare night out to attend a classic magic show, she realizes the stage magicians are much more than they seem. A murder at the theater leads back to a string of unsolved robberies and murders in Portland's past—and a mystery far more personal than Zoe and Dorian ever imagined.
The Elusive Elixir (Book 3): When Zoe and Dorian discover that a long-lost stone gargoyle with a connection to Dorian has reappeared in Europe, the stakes are even higher. From Portland to Paris, Zoe searches for the hidden knowledge she needs, but a cold case that harkens back to 1942 and a dangerous form of alchemy throws her off course. Can she save both herself and her found family?
