London, 1696. The old money is failing. Coins are clipped thin, trust is thinner, and the city is learning that a nation can be robbed one shaved edge at a time.

Inside the Tower Mint, a young clerk works under Isaac Newton as the Great Recoinage turns London into a factory of survival: screw presses, collars, witness coins, cupels of bone ash, and ledgers that must be clean enough to stand in court. When William Chaloner's schemes press close, the job stops being metalwork and becomes something sharper. Proof must be made. Rooms must keep their count. And the law must be fed facts without feeding pride.

The Lost Element is a documentary-flavored historical novel about craft, accountability, and the ordinary hands that keep a country from lying to itself. It follows real mechanisms and real stakes, with a fictional narrator moving through the Tower's benches, assays, and courtrooms where edges speak louder than faces.
