This is the concluding book in the Herculine trilogy. Like the previous two books, it is written by Herculine in a diary fashion. Because it is written different than other books, I was forced to read it slower in order to understand what the authors (Herculine & Reese) are trying to convey. I was also forced to do a little research on the internet, to discover what a few of the French words meant (words like enfin, alors, and bref that are used again and again). As Henri, she sails for Havana, presumably to meet Sebastiana. On the sail there, she falls in love with Calixto, whom she saves from a demon of a man. But this does not save her love because he witnesses her use of the Craft, and sets sail out of Cuba before she is able to explain herself. As Herculine, she is lured by Q., an African alchemist, who is in search of the Philosopher's stone. To achieve his Perfection, he needs where both male and female meet. Unsure of S. coming to Havana, she studies alchemy with Q. The book is pretty boring and a slow start, until part two. Once part two is finished, the story slows down again. Altogether, a good read of H.'s death, with a little too much history lesson for my taste. But, the authors know that, apologize for it, and move on with the story.
