The Red Lion: The Elixir of Eternal Life

Alchemy brings to mind an obscure laboratory in the Middle Ages where a sinister figure clandestinely conducts experiments to produce gold. What is less known is that the true alchemist's primary aim was not so much to get rich as to find the Philosopher's Stone and thus the tool to attain immortality.

The "Elixir of Life" is the secret of immortality, a magic serum that grants eternal life and "supernatural" abilities to those who are sufficiently developer and will not misue its power. As written in the ancient texts, alchemy is the process of transmuting base metals into gold or the ultimate transformation of the alchemist's mind. However, if acquired through greed or malice the consumer of this terrifying potion is swept into a vortex of horror: The psychic mind opens, one sees all that is hidden, and the body is condemned to supernormal life. Consciousness is not lost in death or in reincarnation as one is carried deeper into agony and inescapable torment on the soul's journey to again find the path to enlightenment.

In 1553, Hans Burgner, and impatient young man determined to acquire the secret of eternal life, becomes the servant and pupil of Eduard Anselmus Rochard, an alchemist who possesses the potion. Rochjard refuses to give him the elixir and in his obsession Hand murders the Magister. As a consequence of this crime, the reader of this novel is conducted through the bloodstained labyrinth of alchemical rites and mysteries spanning four centuries as "Hans" searches through lifetimes for the only possible key to escape his torment—the Prima Materia and secret of the Philosopher's Stone.
