About this ebook
Lust drives a wealthy university regent to ruin a rival in love. After arranging the dismissal of an associate professor of medieval history, he turns his attention to the man’s beautiful wife — only to discover, hidden among her husband’s papers, an unfinished manuscript on the history of aphrodisiacs.
Buried in those pages is a recipe attributed to a forbidden seventeenth-century grimoire: a love philtre that promises to transform any woman into a creature of helpless desire. A single drop slipped into champagne should be enough.
But ancient magic does not always honor the intentions of those who wield it. The unwary schemer is about to learn that some appetites are far better left unawakened -- and that a forgotten sorcerer’s most potent recipes carry consequences no modern man could anticipate. A wickedly ironic tale of obsession, occult mischief, and poetic justice from one of the twentieth century’s master craftsmen of the macabre.
