Mothsblood

by Lynn D. Jung · 2026

Larkspur Lee arrives in Paris with only ambition pulsing through her veins and a hidden well of magic beneath her skin. Enrolled at the secretive Université Meurdrac—one of the last alchemical academies—she must outwit wealthier, better‑connected peers to earn a place among the Deathless. When the revered Grand Magistra, Petronelle Flamel, announces a coveted apprenticeship, Lark is determined to seize it, knowing failure is not an option. But a sudden, shocking murder of the headmistress thrusts her into a baffling crime scene where the only clues echo the shadows of Lark’s own past. As she navigates treacherous politics, dark alchemy, and a labyrinth of secrets, Lark must decide how far she’ll go for immortality and whether the price of power is worth the cost of her soul.
