In this dark fantasy debut story, a woman who is missing memories tried her best to make it in a war torn world that is full of alchemy and necromancy. She must also work to survive a man who is given the job of getting to the bottom of the deepest darkest secrets from her past.

Helena Marino used to be an alchemist with quite a bit of promise. Now instead she has become a prisoner, both of her own mind and of war. The friends and allies that she has in the Resistance have come to terrible ends as they have all been horribly murdered. On top of that, her own abilities have been suppressed even as the world that she thought she knew was destroyed.

Following a long war, the new ruling class in Paladia consists of corrupt guild families as well as depraved necromancers, whose undead creatures were key in helping bring their victory about. It is the ruling class that is holding Helena as a captive.

According to the extensive records of the Resistance, Helena was a healer who was not considered that important in their ranks. But Helena also appears to have a strange sense of memory loss that cannot be explained where she cannot recall the months that ended up leading to her being captured. This makes her enemies wonder whether this woman is not that important, as she looks, or if the lost memories very much there and they are covering for some important piece of the final gambit of the Resistance?

To get to the bottom of the memories that are hidden in her mind, Helena is sent over to the High Reeve, who happens to be one of the most powerful necromancers in this world. While trapped on his estate, Helena has to fight in order to protect her history and to keep the last shreds of her old self intact. But all of this is just a fight that is just beginning.

What she doesn’t know is that her captor and the prison she is in have their own secrets. She’s going to have to get to the bottom of these secrets no matter what it costs. Can Helena get to the bottom of it? Check out Alchemised to find out!
