It's super rare. It's said to have a lot of spirit-level pill recipes. Even legendary ones," he happily browsed through the contents. Wren was more than happy to hand it over to Feng.

Black magic, necromancy, and other arts that did not enter a white coven. Alma closes another book and grabs another one from the pile, but sets it down again. She gets up and goes to one of the shelves. She runs her fragile finger over the thick spines, going through all the titles and stopping at one.

Alma was young but very intuitive, and something told her that the girl's intuition told her that the answer was not on the table. Maribela turns her eyes to the book she was reading and decides to close it. Take another one and start the consultation.

They looked very old. I picked up the first book. The cover felt soft under my fingers. I opened it carefully. The writing was faded in places, but I could still read it. "My name is Althea of Whitemore," the book began. "This is my story." Althea. Who was Althea? Was this Noah's and Neal's grandmother? Why would her book be hidden here? Why would my locket open her secret room? I turned the pages slowly, my eyes growing wider with each sentence.

“Well, if a human exposed to alchemy, wouldn't her body feel heavier? Like her head would hurt tremendously.” “Yes! Damn it! In the past I complained about my head feeling heavier. Then Hayden gave me a medicine which turned out to work well. Hah! It turned out that he was the one who gave the disease, also the one who gave the medicine. Tsk, I even thank him!” “But, what is the title of the novel you read, Your Highness? I want to read it too. It seems like a good plot novel worth of your time reading it, Your Highness.”

It was a time when I had only seen Damien as some rude snob, a handsome one, but still a rude snob. I would go to the library to read some books. There were so many of them on interesting subjects like geography and science and magic of all kinds. It was in that book I had first come across the name Alira, who the books had described to be a legend at poisons and potions.

Soon, he waved his palm again and produced a very small, very thin, and very ancient-looking book. "No way! It's an instruction manual on alchemy." Severin could not contain his calmness anymore after turning it over and reading a page. Brandon probably had a position in the sect and probably learned alchemy from one of the elders as a disciple.

Amalia and Jael had claimed one of the oldest alcoves in the Shadowmere library—the kind built directly into the mountain, where the stone still hummed faintly with warded memory. They sat on the floor amid towers of ancient volumes, Amalia’s back resting against the wall, her heavy belly curved beneath a pile of half-closed grimoires. She was glowing in that dangerous way first-time mothers did—radiant, soft, and oddly reckless. “My goddess,” she breathed, turning a page with reverent delight. “This is some of the best reading I’ve ever encountered. Kaela was bad. I love her.”

A faint memory, yet the hair-raising realization that started everything of what he is right now, came rushing back to his mind with the following words and memory. “Alchemy.” Alchemy. Bold big and mighty. Once the center of civilization in the past. The knowledge and teaching that is in between or might as well be both good and bad. But in this particular book and world, that knowledge and somewhat a forgotten branch of science respectfully belong as a whole to that one particular person. “The Human Transmutation Circle.” “Do you remember it now, JK?” The provoking words in a whispering way that Winona is deliberately doing and directly to JK’s ears.
