Enter the spellbinding world of The Alchemists-where arcana, secrets, and romance collide in a modern-day dark academia fantasy perfect for fans of R.F. Kuang's Katabasis, and Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House series.
Windermere College for the theric Arts was founded to make magic accessible to anyone who can call ther, but in the 300 years since its founding it's become the perfect symbol for magical elitism: to get in one needs old money, old connections, or both.
Sebastian Allsaires is old money and old magic-a sportsman and a scholar. And Lily Perkins? Lily is a loner, and more importantly she's cursed. Literally.
When they're thrown together as lab partners for a year long Alchemy course they realize they have far more in common than meets the eye. Together they uncover secrets both arcane and mundane about the founding of their school and the fabric of their society. What they learn just may bring them together if it doesn't tear them apart first.
Magic itself has intention, and the truth will out.
For readers who crave intelligent characters, precisely rendered magic, and an unforgettable romance-join Sebastian Allsaires and Lily Perkins at Windermere College for the theric Arts for an academic year unlike any other.
