The Red Sulphur Saga is based on verified historical reports by credible witnesses of the transmutation from lead into gold with the use of the Philosophers' Stone, also called Red Sulphur, in 1666. Most of the characters in the Red Sulphur Saga are based on actual people and historical events. This era in time is a pinnacle moment in human history because there were three different schools of thought about how to understand and study the world. Those three were the widely-accepted religion, the emerging philosophy of science, and the somewhat mystical and secretly-practiced art of alchemy.

Reviews
"It’s a tale not simply of the cloak-and-dagger world of alchemy, but of the painful and colorful birth of modern science. Bosnak is a skilled writer of the period, summoning it for readers in all its inglorious grime."
-Kirkus Review
"Robert Bosnak’s saga Red Sulphur traces the history of the split between alchemy and science in a tale of lust, greed, and abiding passion."
-Penny Busetto, author
"Bosnak excels at depicting human drama, particularly the love triangle among Mundanus, Marianne, and Clara. Bosnak’s characters are three-dimensional, and the interactions among them are often thought provoking. The fantastical elements assist but never overshadow the main story, and the characters’ emotional entanglements are balanced by a complex plot with a well-realized historical setting."
