The Green Lion: the secret of turning base metal into gold, contained in a book of alchemical code. The Green Lion leads the beautiful and indomitable Margaret of Ashbury - witch, healer, friend to man and ghost - on a perilous journey to rescue the love of her life, who is trapped in a dungeon in a dark castle high in the windswept Pyrenees, prey of a malevolent warlord of boundless evil. Margaret's only weapons are a burning cross, a poison ring, and the alchemy of love.
