Records of the Orders

A weird, brutal, philosophical series. The kind where eldritch gods rule the world from the shadows, and everything is a quest for alchemical knowledge. Élan; the chaos-tamer, the record-breaker. Verve; the one behind the rise and fall of thousands of civilisations. Two alchemists, each sent on a mission by the leader of The Orders-The Rector. Élan must shatter their mentee's humanity to train her as an alchemist, while Verve must define the unexplainable existing within a respected healer. When their missions reveal clues that could reformulate alchemy, they'll edge closer to fathom The Rector's goal while facing an endless conundrum-to remain as is, or to learn and adapt. The genesis of change is near. Not for the faint of heart, and neither for those who want a quick read. Maybe for those who wonder what lies beyond it.
