(4) YA Order of Darkness series. In 1454 Luca and friends investigate a glut of gold English noble coins in the Venetian marketplace. They uncover alchemists who are manufacturing the forged coins--and also attempting to create life--but not in time to prevent widespread ruin. One-note Luca is less interesting than his companions (particularly Ishraq, a well-educated, gutsy Muslim girl) and the detailed historical setting with its supernatural elements.
