Academia #2: The Elixir of Lifeaf Line Wenzel

New York, spring of 1929
In order to obtain the facilities she needs to complete her investigation of the courthouse collapse, hermeticist Nia Himlan has made a deal with some of Little Italy's shadier characters.
She is granted access to a laboratory, but everything comes at a price, and soon, Nia discovers how far she’s willing to go to save her career.
Meanwhile, astronomer Aden Fenice suffers the consequences of a robbery committed at the University of Hermeticism, when someone breaks into his home. His meeting with the intruder marks Aden for life and adds fuel to the fire of age-old hostilities between the University of Hermeticism and the Institute of Astronomy.
The Elixir of Life is the second volume in the alchemy punk series Academia, a story of science, prejudice, and magic.
