In a world held together by ancient magic, one girl's forbidden power could be the key to everything-or the catalyst for its destruction. Fourteen-year-old Thea Presten has never left her secluded ranch, let alone practiced Alchemy. But beneath Bergen, Norway, in the hidden halls of Blackthorn and Burtree, she's about to discover a gift that defies the very codes of magic. As war looms between the Keeper's Animarum and the Shadow Alchemists, Thea must learn to harness her dangerous abilities in secret. Thrust into a world of Conversion Circles and Alchemical beasts, Thea realizes she's been unknowingly breaking the laws of Alchemy her entire life. As she struggles to keep her powers hidden, she finds unexpected friendship with two fellow Spectrum Scholars. But with the Code Keeper and Code Breaker both potentially interested in her abilities, Thea must decide who-if anyone-she can trust. The Code Keeper has manipulated every aspect of Thea's life, pushing her towards a destiny she never chose. As global battles rage and the Earth itself seems to rebel, Thea's decisions could tip the balance of power. The Shadow Faction's leader would stop at nothing to possess her gift, while the Keeper sees her as the key to saving the world-but at what cost? Will Thea's reckless quest for control over her own life unleash a power that could mend their fractured world-or shatter it beyond repair? ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ This book is a preview of the Amazon exclusive.

|| 5x Featured || Spoilers from the first book, The Code Keeper, below! In a world where ancient Alchemy holds reality together, one boy's choices could either save it all-or shatter everything beyond repair. Chadwick MacNamara, a young Chemist of Alchemy, finds his world turned upside down when the Keeper vanishes and the Code Breaker is set free. With his parents forced to flee and his school in chaos, Chadwick must navigate a treacherous landscape of shifting alliances and hidden dangers. His only constants are his Mentor Tajana, his Protégé Thea, and his newly-created Chimaera, Stella. As Shadow Alchemists infiltrate their sanctuary of Blackthorn and Burtree, Chadwick races against time to master new alchemical skills and uncover the truth behind the Trinitas legend. But when Tajana leaves on a dangerous mission and Thea's illegal Chimaera is discovered, Chadwick finds himself caught between loyalty to his friends and the growing threat of the Code Breaker's forces. As Blackthorn and Burtree falls under attack, Chadwick must make an impossible choice: break a sacred oath to save his friends, or watch helplessly as everything he knows crumbles around him. With Thea's mysterious powers growing and a prophecy looming over their heads, the fate of the entire Alchemical world hangs in the balance. In a realm where breaking the laws of Alchemy could mean either salvation or damnation, will Chadwick's decisions mend the fragments of his broken world-or become the catalyst that destroys it all? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ This book is an Amazon Kindle exclusive and only a preview here on Wattpad.

In a world of fractured magic and hidden truths, one girl's forgotten past could be the key to saving everything-or destroying it all. Tajana Pomoći has no memory of the first seven years of her life. Her foster father claims it's due to trauma, but a long-buried secret threatens to shatter her entire reality. Just as she successfully completes her Joint Trial with Chadwick, the Code Keeper sends her on a perilous mission to rescue her Mentor, Savannah Tully. But this task is merely the beginning of a journey that will unravel everything Tajana thought she knew about herself. As Tajana completes her rescue mission, disaster strikes. The Code Breaker launches an attack on Blackthorn and Burtree, endangering her Protégé Chadwick and her mysterious friend Thea. With hundreds of Alchemists and Chemists now in danger at Blackthorn, Tajana resolves to join the Giver and make a difference in the Alchemical war. Her choice to join the Personas sends her on a path to uncover the truth of her own past. Reunited in Verdandi, Chadwick and Thea agree to join the Giver's Fledgling Squad with Tajana, only to face a harrowing Trial of Entry-a rescue mission back in the Code Breaker's stolen stronghold. The stakes soar as they navigate this dangerous territory, complicated further by Chadwick's mysterious Affliction, a result of breaking an Oath to save Thea's life. His corrupted Spirit now threatens to unravel their plans and his very existence. As Tajana fights to keep Chadwick alive and complete their mission, she must confront her own past-but will unlocking her memories save them all, or unleash a power that could shatter their fragmented world forever?
