Description

In this gripping dark fantasy debut, a woman with lost memories struggles to survive in a world ravaged by war, necromancy, and alchemy – and to confront the man who has taken it upon himself to unearth the deepest secrets of her past.

Once a rising alchemist, Elena Marino is now a prisoner – of war and of her own mind. Her friends and allies from the Resistance have been brutally murdered, her abilities suppressed, and the world she knew destroyed. In the aftermath of a long war, the new ruling order of Palantia, corrupt guild families, and twisted necromancers, whose abhorrent, immortal creatures decisively contributed to their victory, hold Elena captive.

According to Resistance records, she was a minor healer in their ranks. Yet the unexplained loss of memories from the months preceding her capture makes her enemies wonder: is she really as insignificant as she seems, or does her memory loss hide a vital piece of the Resistance’s final plan?

To uncover the memories buried deep in her mind, Elena is sent to the Senior Overseer, one of the most powerful and ruthless necromancers of this new world. Trapped in his crumbling mansion, her struggle – to protect her lost past and salvage the last remnants of her old self – is just beginning. For her prison and her jailer hold their own secrets… secrets that Elena will have to unearth, no matter the cost.

Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance / Epic Fantasy

    “If he is a monster, then I am his creator.” - Elena

    Elena Marino is a captive and is used for her rare skills in alchemy. As she tries to survive in a harsh and politically charged environment, she is forced to cooperate with a powerful yet mysterious man, Cain Ferron. Along the way, secrets about her past, the true nature of alchemy, and the dark forces that rule their world are revealed.

    What is Alchemised?
    It is a dark fantasy masterpiece divided into 3 parts and it feels like reading 3 books.
    The first part is the one that throws you into the deep end, with most things you read not making sense and the world being built at a relatively fast pace.
    Don’t let this scare you, keep going. You’re not doing anything wrong, just try to focus on a few terms and keep what Cain says as a talisman.
    The second part is the one that essentially connects all the pieces of the puzzle and builds a plot that will ultimately leave you speechless.
    And finally, the third part is the one that twists the knife in the wound and leaves you stunned….

    Is it worth reading? It’s very long…
    It’s definitely worth reading if you love your books to have more depth and you’re not looking for something simple to just “kill” time. Alchemised burns your brain, not your time, but trust me, you’ll enjoy every brain cell you leave behind.

    Is there spice?
    You’ll see many categorize this book as romantasy but for me that’s a tragic mistake. Yes, there is definitely a very strong couple here but their story is not a romance story, but one of obsession and dark passion. The hope they find in each other is the piece that triggers the creation of this magical puzzle of interactions, but we’re talking more about obsession and an epic love rather than a pure romance couple in a “happily ever after” story. So yes, you will find erotic scenes in this book but trust me, it’s the meaning behind them that will mark you, not the eroticism.

    Do I need to have read Harry Potter to read Alchemised?
    No! Although the original form of the book is a fan fiction starring Hermione and Malfoy - see Manacled - Alchemised is a completely standalone book that has been fully adapted to a new world with characters that have "fit" into the new world-building and not the Harry Potter universe. And that’s the magic that happened with this book, how the author won the bet and shed the Harry Potter stigma from her story, delivering to her audience a universe and a magic system that can stand exceptionally and undeniably on its own.

    What makes Alchemised so special?
    The writing and the way the author manages to immerse you in the dark and atmospheric mood of the plot. Images are gradually built in your mind and the characters win you over each in their own way. And all this may take a while, but trust me, when it happens it will be a book you won’t want to put down.
    The politics are also one of the book’s strong points and of course, the best part, I think, is the connections and the gigantic plot twist that will definitely keep you awake for entire nights.

    ‼️WARNING‼️
    This book comes with a long list of trigger warnings that you should check before entering the story. -Violence, war scenes, erotic scenes, captivity scenes, etc-

    I recommend this book to anyone looking for an epic experience that will leave a lasting mark on them.
