Publisher's Summary

In a land torn between magic and alchemy, Sepha is an exceptional alchemist, able to bend the rules in ways no one else can. But when a slip of the tongue lands her in prison with a mountain of straw, even she has to admit that she can't transmute straw into gold. With the threat of a death sentence hanging over her, she's forced to make a deal with a conniving magician. 

Sepha escapes with her life - but at a cost: she has one year to alchemically create a body for the magician, or else her firstborn child will be his. As Sepha's deadline approaches, she uncovers a deadly secret. How can she save her country when the body she owes the magician will be used to destroy it?

I thought it was just a rumplestiltskin story but I was wrong!

Absolutely didn't see where some of the story was going and genuinely enjoyed it so much. a few plot twists were a little easy to guess but otherwise fantastic read!

Loved it!

I’ve got so many good things to say about this book, I’m not sure where to start. The Lady Alchemist breaks out of the common YA fantasy crowd with a beautifully unique world and magic system. The heroine is both strong and relatable, the love interest is YUM (not to mention that the dynamics of their relationship are such a breath of fresh air), and the classic fairy-tale backdrop wonderfully interwoven and refreshed. The narrator was fantastic, pulling me in right away. I can’t wait for the sequel!
