A Forsaken Prophecy

by Stacey McEwan

In a world of high‑class magic and gangster grit, star‑crossed lovers Patrick, the last Alchemist, and Nina, the only known earth Charmer, are captured by the Artisans amid a brutal war between Artisans and Craftsmen. Reunited with his imprisoned father and aided by Nina’s first love Theo, they escape and decode an ancient prophecy that may lead to an infinite supply of the mysterious metal idium—potentially ending the war or destroying them all. Their journey across war‑torn towns forces them to confront betrayal, forced proximity, and a second‑chance love while the fate of their world hangs in the balance.
