Rose Rushe's passion for life runs deep-she loves mead and music, meddles with astrology, and laughs at her mother's warnings to guard her reputation. When Rose's father dies and a noble accuses her and her dear friend Cecely of witchcraft, they flee to the household of respected alchemists in London. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut as their bond deepens, their sanctuary begins to feel more like a cage.
