Soulweaver: Book Two of the Crown Alchemist Series

"Until philosophers are kings, or the kings and princes of this world have the spirit and power of philosophy, and political greatness and wisdom meet in one, and those commoner natures who pursue either to the exclusion of the other are compelled to stand aside, cities will never have rest from their evils." -Plato Dive into the world of Tevus. The ferocious Lion Queen of Zenluve took a bold move in blindly trusting the Society of Alchemists to aid her cause of restoring peace in their war against raging phantasms. A homunculus named Solomon, the bane of alchemy, has returned out of hiding to utilize the Zenluvians' ancient power for a malicious and world-threatening ambition: the Gates of Heaven. >The very monstrosities created by the hands of his own family. ABOUT THE SERIES: Soulweaver is the second book from the six-book series Crown of the Alchemist, a fantasy epic based on a Dungeons & Dragons campaign that never got to run. With six years of homebrewing and worldbuilding poured into this fully original setting, the story was initially snuffed by scheduling issues with players, and later recycled into a webcomic and novel series. The series follows a slow-burn relationship between chief alchemist Gihon Marleogne and the mysterious monster hunter Edelein von Luvemann as she seeks aid from the alchemists in restoring peace to her homeland. On a quest to quell the evil once and for all, what will become of the man destined to chain his heart to the energies of the in-between? The series features a colorful cast of memorable characters, including witty banter that will make you feel like you're sitting at the table with the players themselves, and has a little something for everyone. The story includes boisterous villain monologues, clever out-of-the-box decision making, and some rival snark that may be hinting at something a little deeper. Finally, Crown of the Alchemist additionally finds its roots in ancient philosophy and theology. With concepts such as Plato's philosopher kings and the Ship of Fools, 2nd-century gnosticism, and goetic grimoires such as The Lesser Key of Solomon wrapped into a D&D-esque world setting. For those who love ancient history or an enticing fantasy world to explore, Crown of the Alchemist is the series for you and Soulweaver is bound to provide a thrilling ending to the Gates of Heaven arc.
