The Prophecy
A prophecy in six verses. Fate or fiction?







Matt thought his biggest challenge at his dream university would be mastering Alchemy—not proving he isn't a serial killer. When blood-drained corpses appear across the city, the lowly Alchemist, allergic to magic, finds himself the prime suspect in a plot that threatens to unravel the fragile peace between supernatural communities.
Since the fall of the Roman Empire, human Weavers were forbidden from ascending to godhood, and all supernatural communities were sworn to peace and secrecy by the Alliance. Matt arrives in London, courtesy of a golden ticket from his long-dead father's friend to his dream university and a vow to unearth family secrets his dad took to the grave. Despite swearing off weaving as a heartbroken teenager, Matt is drawn into a world both more sophisticated and barbaric than he ever could have imagined. As if being distracted by the intrusive voice of the devil on his shoulder and falling head over heels for his roommate Felix (and yes, they are indeed roommates…), Matt and his class of recruits are tasked with catching the Rogue, an elusive criminal threatening the immemorial status quo. As long as he can survive the yearning glances, avoid becoming the monster he hunts, and be brought to his knees in the process—in more ways than one. Because his crush has him in a tighter bi-panic-chokehold than seeing his first Calvin Klein underwear advert.
