Blurb: 
The enchantment and mystery of Renaissance Elizabethan England, the threat of the Spanish Armada, and the quest of a young woman to save her father and her country serve as forces that drive this tale of natural magic, alchemy and scrying. Marked by high adventure, and delicious language, Kernaghan's use of real historical figures like Dr. John Dee, Lady Mary Herbert, Sir Philip Sidney and William Shakespeare, blended with original fictional characters are a powerful mix, while her impeccable research allows you to learn something of an age that has long held a spell over contemporary readers. The Alchemist"s Daughter is highly recommended for fantasy collections, and a must read for those who can see the future.
