So thrilled that THE ALCHEMY BETWEEN US was a RevPit Runner Up! π€π₯π
Portrait of a girl in an antique frame. Title "The Alchemy Between Us" with the tagline "Ambition drew them together. Sacrifice will tear them apart."
This is my favorite thing I've ever written! My dark academia fantasy! THE ALCHEMY BETWEEN US has:
πa scholarship student among the wealthy elite
π€ found family that's a little toxic
π―οΈthe tension between magic + tech
πa quest for immortality
beautiful art by the talented @julijana-m.bsky.social
