About

What happens when you're destined to save the world from utter destruction, but the people trying to manipulate you into fulfilling your destiny are the true villains of your story?

Thea Presten has never drawn a Conversion Circle before. She's never made an Alchemical beast or Conjured fire. She's never even left the ranch where she's been living with her parents for fourteen years. With the arrival of Thea's fourteenth birthday the day has come for her to venture forth and become a Chemist of Alchemy at Blackthorn and Burtree.

Thea leaves behind her safe childhood home for the Alchemy halls, but she soon finds that she won't simply be attending Alchemy lessons. Thea learns that she's been performing Alchemy all along, she just simply breaks the rules. Her parents warn her that she must resist the temptation to break the laws of Alchemy, or she could attract the wrong kind of attention. Will Thea keep her true abilities a secret, or will she risk it all to finally make some friends and unlock the ultimate path at Blackthorn and Burtree?

When fate ensnares Thea in a web of manipulations, how will she endeavor to resist and make her own path for herself?
