In a world torn apart by centuries of enmity between elves and fairies, Brielle and Theon stand on opposite sides of a bloody divide. Brielle, a fierce and powerful fire-wielding fairy, is driven by vengeance and a desire to reclaim what was stolen from her-the wings that made her soar. Theon, an expert elven marksman, is a master of potions and healing, bound by duty to his realm and the dark secret of their shared past that only he remembers. When a chance encounter in the heart of the academy throws them together, their hatred is reignited. Brielle is ruthless, determined to bring down anyone who stands in her way-including the boy she once trusted. Theon, hardened by years of silence and regret, finds himself drawn back to the only person he's ever cared about, despite the war waging between them. As a deadly threat looms over both their worlds, Brielle and Theon must confront the truth hidden in their pasts. But with betrayal lurking around every corner, they must decide whether they can truly trust one another-or if the passion between them will destroy everything they've ever known. In a game of survival where enemies must become allies, only one thing is certain: when fire meets precision, the world will burn. In a deadly game of fire and arrows, only one question remains-can they fight the growing attraction that could be their undoing, or will love spark the ultimate betrayal?

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.

With the first four seals stolen, the strength of the temples fades, and more outbreaks from the Energy Realm puts a strain on the Paladins. For Josh, it's nothing he can't handle.

As the tensions grow high in the Sanctuary, both because of the ongoing war with the Shadow Knights and shady Sage politics, Josh tries to find comfort in his former life and the people he thought he'd left behind. But his peace is not meant to last. Mara and Cale have disappeared, and all clues point to them being in the Energy Realm. Home to monsters and remnants of Phoenix Dragons, the other realm holds many threats, but Josh will do whatever it takes to find his friends. While there, he discovers a way to give the Paladins an edge in the war, but this solution forces him to make a decision he isn't sure he can make. He must put his fate, as well as those he loves, in the hands of a Sage who hates him. -- Cover by eryxnaps
