A Forbidden Alchemy (The Artisan Trilogy)

by Stacey McEwan

Description

In a glittering city built on elemental magic, two childhood friends—Nina Harrow and Patrick Colson—are separated by a secret that turns their “destiny” into a weapon. Years later, Nina has become an elite Artisan with rare earth-charming power, determined to survive the fallout of loss and betrayal, while Patrick moves through a rising revolution that threatens Belavere City’s carefully maintained order. When fate reunites them through a dangerous mission, their slow-burn connection is tested by shifting loyalties, brutal class conflict, and the cost of choosing who gets to decide the future. As Nina is pulled between the rebels and a demand to betray Patrick, she must confront what it truly means to be chosen—and what she’s willing to sacrifice to change the world. Stacey McEwan’s romantasy blends lush, high-stakes worldbuilding with emotionally charged romance and a sharp focus on power, belonging, and the moral weight of revolution.
