The Alchemist's Bane: The Frost and the Flame (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798316915644)

In a land where the monsters are real and the past cuts deeper than any blade, survival is the easy part.

Riven, a self-taught alchemist and monster hunter, never expected to become anyone's hero. But when a chance encounter draws him into the path of Sable, a rogue with a blood-stained history and a name to avenge, his quiet world is shattered. Together, they travel north-into frostbitten wilderness, ruined camps, and long-buried secrets.

Their bond is uneasy, forged in fire and betrayal, tested by creatures that defy nature and men who defy honor. As the land shifts under the growing influence of a hidden corruption, Riven must decide what kind of hunter he truly is-and whether vengeance is worth the cost of his soul.

Potions, claws, and alchemical grit clash in a brutal, emotional journey across a dying frontier.
