Synopsis
Enter the world of Elysium and Hespero Hall. A new series from the author of The Alchemist of Paris. Violet Langford has agreed to continue with the Perfumer’s Challenge, a mysterious tournament held at Elysium House in Regency England. Together with her handsome rival, Tristan Harris, Violet is determined to uncover the secrets of the eerily enchanted estate. But Violet and Tristan will have to compete against each other in three new contests. As Violet learns more about her patron, Lady Eleanor, she is drawn into a dream-like world of ancient perfumes and beguiling elixirs. Meanwhile her father’s old colleague and now enemy, Thomas Hull, continues to circle. The Perfumer’s Challenge has awoken Hull’s memories and an unstoppable desire for revenge which threatens Violet’s future.
