The Alchemist Queen’s Wake: A Dark Fae Fantasy Romance

Magic was never meant to wear a crown.

Alchemy was erased from history for a reason. Long ago, a fae queen nearly rewrote the world-and when she fell, her magic was buried, forbidden, and blamed for everything that followed.

Aisling Caerwyn has spent her life running.

Hunted across human borderlands for practicing forbidden alchemy, she knows only this: her magic does not behave like anyone else’s. It doesn’t drain the world-it answers it. When her power draws the attention of the fae court, Aisling is captured by Rónán Daireach, a lethal fae prince bound by oath to deliver her for execution before she can fully awaken.

But the fae have been lying.

Alchemy was never a human art. It was born of the fae-and Aisling is its last heir.

As ancient truths resurface and court intrigue tightens its grip, Aisling discovers that the prophecy surrounding her does not foretell destruction, but balance. Completing the Great Alchemical Reforging could restore magic across realms... at the cost of every crown built on stolen power.

Including Rónán’s.

Torn between duty and desire, hunter and hunted become allies-and something far more dangerous. Because if Aisling succeeds, the fae monarchy will fall, immortality will fade, and the world will never kneel to rulers again.

And if she fails, magic itself may tear the realms apart.

The Alchemist Queen’s Wake is a dark fae romantasy filled with forbidden alchemy, enemies-to-lovers tension, court intrigue, and a powerful female protagonist who refuses to be ruled-by destiny, by crowns, or by fear.

Perfect for readers who love dark fae fantasy romance, romantasy, forbidden magic, and stories where love is chosen-not foretold.
