About The Novel: Alchemy - A Fairytale

Cassandra was created, not born. The Alchemist poured all her love and magick into the doll, sealed with a precious emerald heart, locked tight to protect it. But before the Alchemist could teach Cassandra who she truly was, the Queen demanded the doll for her Child. Powerless to refuse, the Alchemist was forced to give her up, only to realize she had forgotten to give her the key to her heart. It was a devastating mistake that would last for centuries.

At the end of World War II, Cassandra is discovered among the forgotten treasures of a fallen kingdom. Shipped to New York City, she is purchased by a cold-hearted tycoon Archibald Bonz, who gifts the doll to his spoiled daughter, Bertie. Neither of them know that the emerald heart-lock in her chest could be worth millions, or that it holds something far more powerful. Mocked and cast aside like all her other toys, Cassandra’s spirit fractures and from that break, a Shadow is born, a mysterious indigo Shadow-Cat, who rarely speaks but remembers what Cassandra cannot.

When Cassandra escapes Bertie’s abuse, she finds herself lost in a world she’s never known, with only a flicker of forgotten magick to guide her. Hunted by Bonz and his daughter who are not far behind, Cassandra is drawn to a mysterious House filled with others who seem just as trapped as she is. To save them, and herself, she must confront her deepest fears and awaken the dormant magick within her. The key is missing. But maybe, just maybe, she can unlock it another way.

Watch the short film, The Mystery of Eve first, for hidden clues. Eve is a character from the novel. The film is her backstory and how the House was created, 60 years prior to when Cassandra, the protagonist in my novel, arrives at the front gates. The film is Live on my YouTube channel.

Though this story is a Fairytale, it was born from a time of grief, when I felt utterly depleted. At it’s core, it’s a story of healing, a tender, whimsical, and often challenging voyage back to the light within.
