ALCHEMY (First Draft is DONE!)
Zoe Delarey has been hiding her entire life.
She's not a normal girl, even by witch standards. Created by her father with forbidden experimental magic, Zoe is an alchemical child.
When the Regent suspects her father has broken sector laws, he hides her away in a secret stasis chamber protected by powerful magic.
But it isn't her father who wakes her. Instead, Bastian, a handsome stranger after her father’s secrets, releases her from the chamber. With her father arrested, Zoe finds herself on the run from the Witches Council. She has no choice but to accept Bastian's help, even though she doesn't trust him. He might be rescuing her; he might be using her... Zoe is not sure.
Thrust into the real world for the first time in her life, she needs to learn to control her magic and, at the same time, get a handle on her feelings for Bastian. Neither of which is going to be easy. Especially when Zoe turns out to be the key to saving the sector from the savage beasts that prey on the lives of the people.
Will she fulfill the secret destiny that runs through her blood?
Alchemy is the thrilling 9th part of the The Othala Witch Collection. This is a paranormal romance that you won't be able to put down.

ALCHEMY
I woke to find a man who wasn’t my father standing over me. His brow furrowed over eyes blue like a morning sky I’d seen once from my bedroom window as he leaned closer to my capsule. Wait, this wasn’t right. Father was the only one supposed to wake me. I shrieked and aimed a kick for his chest. With a mutter, he grabbed my ankle, stopping my momentum and causing me to shift on my side.

The sky shifted to a reddish hue, and a giant eye opened up in the center. Its yellow iris pulsed and the pupil thinned at the eye rotated to scan the courtyard. My stomach twisted and jerked as goose pimples flared along my back. The closet tower was still a good twenty feet away from me. I would never make it without this thing seeing me. I glanced back at the blizzard. It was closer, but I had a feeling I would have to find my way all over again if I went back.

“Most of the time, but he’s known to take some under his wing.” The clouds voice had a tone took on a nonchalance. “Maybe you’ll be special or something.”
“Why do you say that?”
“He already helped you out. Or he’s like a drug dealer. Your first dose is free.” Frequency chuckled. “I mean he does look like a mafia gangster.”

“You look lost.” Cosmos’s soft voice traveled on the air along with the warm desert heat.
He slid down from one of the dunes behind me and moved to where the water lapped close to his feet. The stars reflected in his shades. I glanced away when I caught myself staring at the curve of his lips. What was I thinking? He probably didn’t even look like this in real life.
“Nice Avatar.” He looked me up with a quirk of his lip.
“Thanks. And I’m not lost.” I said. “Just debating on which direction I want to go.”
“Usually, it’s best to have a destination in mind here.” His chuckle sent a delectable shiver down my spine. “You can easily get lost.”
“Maybe I want to get lost,” I said. “That’s half of the fun.”
“It sounds like you’re running away from something.”
“What better place to run?” My voice barely raised above a whisper.

“What?”
His dark red coat ruffled in the wind as he spread his arms wide. “RiftSpace. That’s what we tend to call this virtual representation of the internet.”
I stood up and looked across the sea as we floated along. Waves of ones and zeros rippled to the horizon in all directions. Above us, the tiny binary twinkled like fake stars. I staggered as my vision swirled and my head swam. I’d had enough swimming of any kind for today. My rescuer stepped forward to put his hands on my shoulders and the spicy scent of cinnamon mixed with warm woody and floral aromas I didn’t recognize.

Here we go:
My mother named me Serenity to bring peace into her life. It didn't work out for either of us. That fact remained evident as she tossed the checkers board at my face with an ear piercing screech that bounced off of the eggshell white walls of Santa Rosa’s common room. I shoved my chair back from the oak table and hopped to my feet. Her mahogany hair slid over once her hazel eyes as she glared at me with her hands balled into fists around her t-shirt.
