Fools’ Gold Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

Everything that glitters may well be platinum in the third book in the region of Darkness series from #1 New York Situations bestselling author Philippa Gregory.

Tasked to expose a coin counterfeiting plan, Luca and Isolde happen to be Venice just in time for Carnival. Amid the masks, celebrations, and pleasure, the romantic attraction between the two reaches a new strength that neither can deny.

Their romance is interrupted from the arrival from the alchemist, who could be the con artist they’ve been looking for. But as Luca starts to investigate the initial charge, the alchemist reveals his accurate goal-he plans to make the Philosopher’s Rock, a mystical chemical reported to be with the capacity of turning bottom metals into gold and generating the elixir of life.

With pounds of undocumented coins and an assistant who claims to become decades older than she appears, all evidence points to the possibility that the alchemist has succeeded in his task. But simply because Luca and Isolde get closer to the truth, they discover that reality could be even more sinister than they ever could have imagined.
