About this product
Overview
A Forbidden Alchemy launches the Artisan Trilogy with a captivating blend of magical craftsmanship and high-stakes intrigue, following an apprentice alchemist who stumbles upon a forbidden alchemy that could either save or doom their hidden city.
Key Specifications
This debut novel runs approximately 380 pages across 28 chapters, published in trade paperback and e-book formats in early 2024, and is the first of three planned installments in the Artisan Trilogy. The narrative is told through a single point-of-view with a steady, deliberate pacing that builds toward a cliffhanger ending that will leave you eager for the sequel, and the prose is richly descriptive without being overwrought.
Who It's For
This book is perfect for readers who love alchemy-based magic systems and intricate world-building akin to The Name of the Wind. It also appeals to those who enjoy character-driven stories about apprentice journeys and forbidden knowledge, with a touch of political intrigue and a slow-burn romance subplot that adds emotional depth.
Worth Buying?
The immersive setting and layered plot make it a solid start to the series, though the slow first act may test impatient readers. If you're in it for the long haul of a trilogy, this foundation promises rich rewards as the mysteries deepen in future volumes.
