Golden

Daughter of Smoke and Bone meets One Piece in an imaginative retelling of the legend of King Midas, featuring a runaway alchemist, a band of seafaring adventurers and a dangerous romance...

Live fast, die young. For alchemy-school dropout Romy Kisner it's more than just a naïve saying - it's destiny.

At eleven, Romy was chosen to attend one of her country's nine schools of alchemy: a prestigious achievement that came with a life changing discovery. Not an Alchemist but an Alkahest, the most powerful solvent known to humankind runs through her veins, a cure to all alchemical mistakes that is coveted by many but owned by a select few.

After dropping out of school to keep a low profile and performing alchemical odd jobs to earn her keep, the green-haired prodigy performs an intriguing task for the queen's chief advisor. Her alkahest's blood is singled out as the only cure for Archegate Mina, the queen of Romy's homeland, and her overpowering ability to turn everything she touches into gold.

If Romy agrees to this particular job, there's no doubt that she'll be well rewarded. There's only one downside: her blood is irreplaceable, so she'll also be dead.

Credit goes to iridium- for designing such a brilliant cover for my first Wattpad novella. I'm going to be updating Golden every Friday - the finished work is going to have approximately four chapters.
