The Last Alchemist

When Elias Thorne discovers a ruined alchemist's cellar beneath his cottage, it awakens memories of another life — a life as a chemist in a world of science, not magic. Now armed with the knowledge of molecular chemistry and the intuition of Aether sensitivity, he becomes the first true alchemist in two hundred years. In the fading frontier town of Verdane, where the ley line weakens and the Hollow Blight creeps ever closer, Elias begins to craft wonders from common herbs. With a fierce herbalist as his partner, a hungry orphan as his apprentice, and a gruff old mayor as his first patron, he builds something the world hasn't seen in centuries: an alchemy workshop.
