fantasy horror multiple-protagonist mystery supernatural-abilities

In a world where alchemy holds both wonder and danger, Seth, a seasoned Royal Alchemist, is summoned to a crime scene unlike any he's ever encountered. A chilling discovery awaits him amidst the haunting forest: a macabre display of failed alchemical experiments, where grotesque creatures lie lifeless on the ground.

Venturing further, Seth stumbles upon an enigmatic abandoned school, its existence shrouded in mystery. Amongst the decaying autumn leaves, a lone survivor emerges-a spectral girl, unsettling in her presence. Her confession shocks Seth to the core: she claims responsibility for the demise of the mastermind behind this abominable alchemy malpractice.

As their eyes meet, an unnerving calmness envelops the air, and the girl's words penetrate Seth's very soul: "Father's body rests in the creek." With each passing moment, Seth realizes that unraveling this dark enigma will lead him deeper into a treacherous web of secrets, where the line between alchemy's transformative power and its unforgiving consequences blurs, leaving him questioning everything he once believed.All Rights Reserved

Into the Centaur World (COMPLETE) by TRMEbooks

All I wanted was to help. I didn't expect to discover a world of non-humans. I have enough to juggle between going through medical school and work to pay for my tiny apartment. But when Ruby, a young pregnant woman is in need of help, I decide that one more thing can't hurt, right? I guess the answer is yes when it ends up with me trapped in the centaur world with a one year old and an electric fox that could stab me in the back at any moment... again. It doesn't help that I don't know the language and they're on the lookout for me. My goal is to make it home or to the child's father. But they're centaurs, unicorns, and pegasus after me. I know I can't outrun them but I can make it through this world without getting trampled, right? ("Into the Centaur World" takes place in the same universe as "Tèarmann Chronicles")

She uses her knowledge of the world and its elements to keep intruders away from her home, however, when the newly-elected leader of the settlement promises her demise and a boy claiming to be a researcher makes himself her apprentice, her life deters from its usual path and becomes a constant hassle as she tries all she can to return to a peaceful existence.

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.

Among them are the protectors of light and darkness, emerging every other century with unparalleled powers. For centuries, elementals have operated in secrecy, forming a society dedicated solely to safeguarding humanity from mythical horrors that should never have been unleashed. However, two centuries ago, their existence was accidentally exposed, leading to a catastrophic war that claimed millions of lives and devastated countless homes. Now, a century later, a new pair of protectors has been chosen just as the very force that ignited the original conflict threatens to escape its prison and annihilate everything in its path-humans and elementals alike. As they navigate a treacherous landscape filled with government pursuers, mercenaries, assassins, and monstrous foes, these protectors must rise to the challenge. They face the daunting task of stopping a shadow-powered entity determined to obliterate the world. Will they overcome their differences and unite in this critical fight, or is history destined to repeat itself?, as the fate of both species hangs in the balance.
