All the chemicals and recipes are real, and the arquebus was a real gun; it was made before they invented the flintlock musket. As for the Templars still being around, it’s certainly not impossible...but who knows?

Hello! I remember seeing The Blackthorn Key: The Mark of the Plague at a bookstore once. I immediately purchased both that and the first book and read both in two days. Since then, I've been a huge fan! Your writing is compelling and I love the mystery and I love all the characters (My favorite one simply has to be Lord Ashcombe). Was there any inspiration from real life for some of them?
