In the soot-choked sub-basements of the elite Alchemical Institute, Valerius Draken is just a low-born scholarship student trying to survive toxic fumes and lethal school politics. Dying of slow mercury poisoning, he has nothing left to lose. Everything changes when he discovers a sentient, heat-radiating artifact hidden in the forbidden vaults: the One Ring. Containing the elusive 'Final Equation, ' the ring gives Valerius the power to rewrite the physical laws of nature. But power comes at a terrible price. Instantly, Valerius becomes the target of Isolde von Hestia, a ruthless heiress who views the ring as her birthright. Worse, he uncovers the school's darkest secret-the entire university was built as a prison for the ring, and the faculty are planning to sacrifice students to activate a subterranean god-machine. As the ring begins to fuse directly with his body and corrupt his soul, Valerius must team up with a ragtag group of outcasts to navigate the extra-dimensional halls of the academy. To survive the lethal grand conspiracy, he must master the dirty alchemy of the streets against the high magic of the elite. Terri Palmer delivers a mesmerizing, high-stakes dark academia epic where knowledge is deadly and salvation demands absolute sacrifice.
