The Alchemists inspired terror, and becoming one was the last thing he wanted.
In the dark and rainy city of Clawfort, the weakened Crown of Von Meier, the fearsome cult of Moonthorne Alchemists, and the infamous Guild of Thieves are spreading panic and plotting deadly subterfuge to determine who can be in control.
As the third child of one of the wealthiest and most prestigious families in the city, young Kilian Morgenstern resigned himself to the idea of merely running the family law office when the terrible news of his father's accidental death shakes his family from across the ocean.
While his brothers inherit the Morgenstern fortune, ensuring lives of luxury, the proud Kilian is forced to follow his father's last wishes to become an Alchemy student at the infamous Moonthorne Academy, trapped forever behind its inescapable walls with the ultimate goal of finding a cure for Death.
Driven by terrifying visions of unspeakable horrors that hang like an axe over the heads of his family and friends, the only person who offers to help Kilian out is a dangerous criminal and Guild member from his past: a scarred young man with demon-yellow eyes named Nikolas Vesa, who hates the Alchemists.
The only problem is Nikolas also hates the Morgensterns to his core, and he’s eager to rip them apart.

If I don’t write, I’m probably drawing. If I’m not drawing, I’m probably reading. If I’m not reading, I’m probably info-dumping on random things I will never need in my life, like how Space-Time works or how Rosicrucian initiation works. I’m thirsty for information that can become a cool plot. Or maybe I’m just attending another emo or metalcore gig.
