The Alchemy Before the Dawn
The Lightless Alchemist Series · Book 1
Sage, a brilliant alchemist, has dedicated her life to democratizing magic—a dangerous pursuit in a kingdom that believes few should wield real power. When a violent explosion destroys her home, Sage is forced to take shelter in the royal palace. Now, far removed from her books and laboratory, she’s trapped, navigating court intrigue and avoiding a deadly rebellion determined to exploit her research.
Desperate to continue her research in order to help the suffering people of the kingdom, Sage begins to recreate her lab. However, every movement is tracked by the handsome, mysterious Captain Eskar.
Though at first he seems dismissive of her work, he becomes a trusted ally, even joining her on a perilous quest for a crucial mineral. Far from the oppressive culture of the palace, Eskar and Sage surrender to their feelings, only for betrayal to rock their very foundation.
Forced to chose between her research and the man she loves, Sage is plunged into the centre of the rebellion. All she can do is believe in herself and trust that the dawn will bring a new light, even if it’s one she has to ignite herself.
