<p>A mind-bending gaslamp mystery. Think Inception meets The Night Circus meets Violet Evergarden.</p> <p>Aurora's greatest entrepreneur has been murdered, and only the truth will save Alchemist Ortez from the gallows.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>But while everyone believes him guilty, Alchemist Ortez knows what they do not.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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).</p> <p>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!</p>
