On Matter and Decay
A new mind-bending dark academia series brimming with Alchemy and deadly secrets
Kilian Morgenstern, the third child of a prestigious family in Clawfort, has resigned himself to running his family’s law office. But when terrible news of his father’s sudden death ripples across the ocean, Kilian is burdened with fulfilling his father’s dying wish while his siblings inherit the Morgenstern fortune.
Kilian must enroll in the mysterious Moonthorne Academy to study alchemy with a singular goal: to find a cure for death. But the walls of the Academy harbour dark secrets, and before long, Kilian is plagued by horrifying visions of threats against his loved ones.
When Nikolas Vesa, a dangerous criminal from Kilian’s past resurfaces, Kilian is presented with a devil’s bargain: let the rakish and disreputable Nikolas help him, or be trapped forever.
With his demon-yellow eyes and troubled past, Nikolas despises not just the Alchemists, but the Morgensterns too–and as he offers Kilian a panacea from his troubles, Nikolas secretly presses the cold knife of vengeance against his back.

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.
