The Witch of Woodstock
What would you give to extend your life-span beyond the centuries, delay the exigencies of old age and keep your body firm? What would you sacrifice to lock the pigment into your hair? Money? Sacrifice? I ask for neither. Yet within these pages I will reveal to you alchemy’s secret while only eliciting from you in return any moment completely yours, your total attention to my tale so that elements within you might blend with parts of its work in the world as an aesthetic avatar pouring back into you through your mind's eye all the lives you've never lived nor could have lived but do. Open your eyes. I am the elixir of life - drink in my words and be restored.

What if a work of art was your only means of escape? Scarlet Delamere, an aristocratic orphan, turns to a 16th-century portrait for a way out of the prison her home has become. Character fuses into art and love into politics in this coming of age novel, which centers on a flame-haired nude who looks out silently at the mundane from her gilded frame.
