All her life, Seraphina has been hidden away in the enchanted forest with her guardian, Calla. The result of a secret relationship between the daughter of one of the most influential families in the country, and a mysterious and extremely powerful Ethereal, it is imperative that Seraphina's identity remain a secret - at least until she is powerful enough to protect herself against the many enemies of her parents. So, when a tutor from the prestigious Amber Cove Academy appears, Seraphina disguises herself as a Stain; a member of the slave race controlled by magically gifted Ethereals. Thanks to years of Stain and Ethereal relations, it isn't uncommon for Stains to have powers of their own. Because of this, every year, tutors from Amber Cove travel the country in search of champions to attend the academy. This year, Seraphina is one of the champions. Soon, Seraphina finds herself in the competitive world of the Academy, where no one is truly your friend and image and reputation are everything. Seraphina has to learn quickly how to fit in, her survival in the Ethereal world depends on it. Of course, that is easier said than done when Ethereals refuse to treat the Stain champions with any respect. School bullies are the least of Seraphina's problems, however. The longer she stays at the Academy, the longer strange things start to happen. Whispers in the walls, strange visions, and students getting injured can only be the cause of a darkness that plagues the halls of the Academy which is somehow linked to Seraphina. To make matters worse the gods that watch over them are more active than ever and their cruelty knows no bounds. Seraphina finds herself thrust into the middle of wars between strange and ancient entities. Secrets are unravelled, and the more Seraphina learns about her world and herself, the more the gods' eyes fall on her. Book One in the Amber Cove Academy Series. Updates on Saturdays
Engines of Alchemancy (The Alchemancer Book One) by scottmarlowe

After re-reading Engines of Alchemancy in preparation for writing the 3rd book in the series, I decided to post the entire book on Wattpad. It's a good story, and I'd love to have readers such as yourself give it a try. Engines of Alchemancy is the 1st book in The Alchemancer series. It's followed by The Nullification Engine and The Inversion Solution. You can find out more about The Alchemancer series and my other books here: https://www.scottmarlowe.com/page/the-alchemancer *** Infernal engines consume the world and only a sorcerer's apprentice who knows nothing about magic can stop them. The Alchemancer series begins. Chaos erupts in the Barony of Fallmere when a surprise elemental attack destroys Norwynne Keep. Aaron Shepherd and Shanna Bonnerman survive, but Shanna is soon lost in the fallout of the keep's destruction while Aaron is forced to flee for his life. Unbeknownst to Aaron, Shanna becomes a captive of the enemy who destroyed their home. This enemy, a savant who claims to follow the path of science, speaks of ancient, infernal devices and a quest to reclaim the greatest of them all. Certain the savant means to kill her, Shanna is instead surprised when she finds herself embarking upon the adventure of a lifetime. Meanwhile, only the worst of nightmares awaits Aaron. Pursued by dwarven raiders, mad sorcerers, and a host of demons who will not stop until he is dead, the only thing keeping him alive is his own wits and an eslar mercenary whose reputation as a killer might make him the worst threat of all. Though Aaron and Shanna travel different paths, their purposes align when they each learn of a mysterious device known as the Fifth Element. Shanna sees it as the final piece of the puzzle that is her destiny. To Aaron's logical mind, it is an impossible ambiguity. Whatever the answer, the Fifth Element draws them back together and into a final confrontation where science and sorcery will collide.
