Alchemised – Westmarch Edition

A bit about the edge design:

Our initial thought was to try and capture the dark, gothic vibe of the story and somehow bring it onto our edges. At the bottom, you can see the High Reeve standing in his armor with the castle looming behind him, all of it framed by the striking trail of Helena’s long red cloak as she walks away.

If you look closely, you’ll also be able to see small rose petals falling across the design, highlighting the iconic quote from the book: “You’re like a rose in a graveyard.” And right at the top, tucked into the stone arch, you’ll spot two delicate paper cranes inside the stained-glass windows: a sweet little nod to everyone who knows.

About the Book:

Once a promising alchemist, Helena Marino is now a prisoner of war and of her own mind. Her Resistance friends and allies have been brutally murdered, her abilities suppressed, and the world she knew destroyed.

In the aftermath of a long war, Paladia’s new ruling class of corrupt guild families and depraved necromancers, whose vile undead creatures helped bring about their victory, holds Helena captive.

According to Resistance records, she was a healer of little importance within their ranks. But Helena has inexplicable memory loss of the months leading up to her capture, making her enemies wonder: Is she truly as insignificant as she appears, or are her lost memories hiding some vital piece of the Resistance’s final gambit?

To uncover the memories buried deep within her mind, Helena is sent to the High Reeve, one of the most powerful and ruthless necromancers in this new world. Trapped on his crumbling estate, Helena’s fight to protect her lost history and to preserve the last remaining shreds of her former self is just beginning. For her prison and captor have secrets of their own . . . secrets Helena must unearth, whatever the cost.
