Fendrel Solinar was never a successful alchemist. Struggling to make a name for himself in a city riddled with crime, he thought his dreams were over—until the parasite took root. With his life now dependent on brewing deadly poisons to keep the creature inside him at bay, Fendrel is thrust into a world of danger, deceit, and alchemical mastery. But there's a catch: the parasite inside him grows stronger with each poison he brews. As rival factions vie for control of his unique skills and the city guards close in, Fendrel must navigate an increasingly perilous path, balancing between a life of crime and hope for normalcy. Trapped between the demands of the parasite, the threat of powerful underworld figures, and the authorities hunting him, Fendrel’s choices could either save him—or drag him further into darkness.
