The difference between Alchemy and "magic" is the fact that Alchemy has a fundamental law. And that Alchemy can be explained by pure and utter science. But that's not the point. The point is that Alchemy has a base to go by while magic is a whim. You can't predict magic, you can't create magic, you can't even explain magic. You can explain Alchemy though and that's the difference. Magic is on a whim and unexplainable. Alchemy is based, rooted, and explainable. Alchemy clearly sounds like the better option, since people like the understandable.
But yet... everyone chooses magic over Alchemy.
Whim over base.
Unexplainable over explainable!
It doesn't make sense! Yet it's what happens...
I guess I have to find out why.

Fourteen-year-old Thea Presten has never left her secluded ranch, let alone practiced Alchemy.

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 Book of Abbadon
**THE BOOK OF ABBADON HAS BEEN MOVED TO AMAZON AND PUBLISHED BY KDP. THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO READ THE NOVEL FOR FREE AND GAVE IT SUPPORT IN ITS EARLY STAGES.～ ♡♡♡ " In life, there will always be pain and sorrow and suffering, but it's the bad times that make us truly appreciate the good. You need both Light AND Darkness to fully understand the importance and meaning of each side, and that's evident all the way down to the fundamental elements of the Omniverse! " The Book of Abbadon is more than a typical cosmic fantasy, as it aims to capture any would-be reader and put them through a series of life-changing events that they otherwise would never get to experience in the real world. Rather than follow a cast of characters throughout their journey, this novel puts you at the center and is intended to make you think and feel as if this epic is following you instead. As you read this novel, you might possibly discover things about yourself that you otherwise wouldn't have; opening a new perspective on different philosophies and what they mean to you as a person. Ideological lines will begin to blur as you meet certain characters, searching for meaning and fighting for a universe that is not too dissimilar from our own. What you become after reading The Book of Abbadon is for you to decide, as this is your own story to face and undergo as the central character to the plot.Complete

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete
