  Summary:

  The year is 1664 when young Will Godwin arrives in London. In order to escape punishment for a crime he didn't commit, Will becomes an assistant to a wicked alchemist, Elias Theophratus Spittle. Will longs to flee his servitude, but the alchemist's powers are too strong, and Will knows there is no way out. On an errand in a graveyard one cold winter's eve, Will comes across a mother cat and her three kittens. Taking pity on the freezing family, Will brings them back to his master's apothecary shop. And there, among the bubbling bottles and evil smelling jars unfolds an extraordinary tale of villainy, sorcery, and murder. The Deptford Mice trilogy witnessed the harrowing battles between the mice of Deptford and Jupiter, lord of darkness and teacherous disguises. Now in this gripping prequel, the secret about how Jupiter came to be so powerful and full of evil is revealed.
