Alchemy, they never knew what it was truly capable of. What wonders and horror one could conjure up with enough of a rotten heart. Humans have taken enough from me. They've taken enough from everyone. I will show them what I bring... In the frigid depths of the glacier Korigara, a small blue Alerez with no name is torn from his home and sold into slavery in the city of Yalor-a metropolis operated entirely by the enslaved and charge with conjuring in the Golden Dawn, the legendary age of prosperity. Assigned to the Alchemy Division and granted the designator Bringer, he conceals his talent, fearing the attention it may attract. But when a deadly disease ravages the local hunting grounds, Bringer's expertise is thrust into the spotlight. Uncovering a malevolent Titan lurking behind the epidemic, Bringer becomes infected, marked as a carrier of a sinister contagion. Armed with his alchemic prowess and a resolve to save mostly himself, Bringer attempts to master the insidious force. As Bringer tumbles down further into darkness, it falls on him to decide: will the next dawn be one of gold or of disaster? In this gripping tale of corruption and descent, Bringer must confront the darkness within himself before it consumes...everything.
