The Inversion Solution

About the Book

Infernal science inverted half of Brighton’s population. The other half fights for survival. The Alchemancer series continues.

Brighton descends into anarchy when half the population succumbs to the debilitating effects of the Nullification Engine. The situation worsens when eslar invaders arrive on a mission shrouded in secrecy. Reluctantly drawn into an uneasy alliance with them, Aaron soon realizes the engine’s catastrophic effect extends far beyond the city’s borders, threatening to unleash chaos on an unimaginable scale.

When Ensel Rhe discovers that his brother-in-law Balrabbek commands the eslar forces, he wants nothing more than to take revenge on him for the murder of his son. However, he soon uncovers the unsettling truth that Balrabbek’s treachery and ambitions reach far beyond what he imagined. Now, Ensel Rhe must end those ambitions, no matter the cost.

Meanwhile, Serena flees from the chaos consuming Brighton, only to find that escape is as fleeting as her control over her magic. When she learns of a mission to retrieve the secrets of a lifesaving vitality serum, she seizes the chance to redeem herself and save her people.

As the threads of their destinies intertwine, Aaron, Ensel Rhe, and Serena must confront their fears and forge unlikely alliances. In a relentless race against time, they must uncover the truth behind the impending doom that threatens to engulf not only Brighton but the world beyond.

Ideal for fans of rich epic fantasy, The Inversion Solution spins a captivating tale of magic, redemption, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship. Join Aaron and Serena on this unforgettable journey filled with peril and promise, where every choice could alter their destinies forever.
