About
Since Zilan entered the world of royal alchemists, she has learned that alchemy comes at a price. She has lost loved ones in her search for broader justice against the evil Empress and all she wants now is to find some way to bring them back. Resurrection is her specialty, after all.
In search of the myth of Penglai Island, where it's rumored life can be fully restored, Zilan starts a new adventure. But when old threats come back to haunt her and the path to Penglai Island means facing down unpredictable, sometimes dangerous, alchemists, she wonders just how high of a price she may be willing to pay. "A ruthless and standout series opener to a dark, adrenaline-fueled duology. Highly recommended for all collections." -School Library Journal, starred review
"In this deeply immersive historical fantasy, a grisly duology opener, Baker expertly navigates the societal constraints and pains of marginalization via visceral prose." -Publishers Weekly, starred review
Praise for The Scarlet Alchemist
"An enchanting, immersive world in which the manipulation of elements knows no bounds. Centered around life and death, this fast-paced story is gory and gruesome but lightened by moments of levity... Grisly, dark, and utterly entrancing." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review
