Fifty thousand children have been branded with the Mark of the Alchemist, a blessing that grants the children access to the path of alchemy, and a curse that will see them hunted until their last breath.  Thrust into the hands of an uncaring clan, surrounded by enemies, and bearing a skill too powerful for his body to handle, Aldwyn was meant to be a sacrifice sent out into the world to die. But thanks to a legendary skill, he has regained memories of a life already lived and been given a second chance at life. Now, Aldwyn must master magic and alchemy and carve a path to greatness, or he will fall to the death sentence that has been placed upon him.
