Blood Alchemy - Kurt Newton

Alison Reed-Fuller is a children's book illustrator. 

Her husband, Jim, is a cop. 

Their marriage is rocky at best. 

With a deadline looming, and her husband away on a job assignment, Alison adopts a male dog from the local animal shelter for creative inspiration. 

Soon afterward, Alison is visited by erotic dreams... dreams of a dark man in a faraway place... a palace in the desert. 

The man is Khalid-an alchemist with a dark secret-and in these dreams, Alison is Sahlah, his wife.

BLOOD ALCHEMY is a novel of romance and terror about two lovers separated by a thousand years, brought together by a dark force that has waited centuries to live and breathe again...

BLOOD ALCHEMY combines past with present, dreams with nightmares, and fate with circumstance to create a harrowing tale of possession, obsession, and unnatural desire.
