Description: [edit] [history]

A mind-bending gaslamp mystery. Think Inception meets The Night Circus meets Violet Evergarden.

Aurora's greatest entrepreneur has been murdered, and only the truth will save Alchemist Ortez from the gallows.

Facing a heated courtroom of strangers, he must now recall the events that brought him here as a fellow alchemist probes his memory. Such is the job of alchemists: administering elixirs in order to see into the minds of men. Their dreams. Their nightmares. Their secrets.

But while everyone believes him guilty, Alchemist Ortez knows what they do not.

He was hired by the victim for a job unlike any they could imagine. Nor would they ever guess what other mysteries lie buried beneath the mountain metropolis of Aurora, a cave-enclosed city where countless gas lamps illuminate the endless night.

Updates Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The story is fully written and will be posted to Royal Road in its entirety (I promise). It may wrap up there, or I may continue with sequels (still undecided).

An audio version of Trial of the Alchemist from Podium Audio will be published on April 4, along with a book version on Kindle. You can support the author by pre-ordering Trial of the Alchemist on Audible (Canadian link) or Kindle. Thank you!
