Alchemised

Description

In Victorian-gothic Paladia, alchemist Helena Marino finds herself in the hands of the enemy and without her Resonance (aka magic). Imprisoned and desperate, she fights to piece together her fractured memories, only to discover that her enigmatic captor, Kaine, is not who he seems. As the lines between ally and enemy blur, her survival depends on uncovering secrets that both Kaine and her own mind are keeping from her. Representing a milestone in the evolution of fan-created fiction into original publishing, author SenLinYu blends the magical wonder of Harry Potter with the grim intensity of The Handmaid’s Tale. The result is a rich, distinct world built on deep lore and complex moral ambiguity. Alchemised is a must-read for readers seeking a gritty, slow-burn romance.

Reader note: This is a dark, complex fantasy that includes mature themes, specifically sexual violence and self-harm.
