Alchemy is the way of life for Zilan in Kylie Lee Baker's fantasy "The Scarlet Alchemist." While Zilan hopes to become the royal alchemist, a coveted spot within the kingdom, she makes her money using her powers to illegally raise the dead. Her chance to break into the upper echelon comes with an invitation to enter the imperial exams against the most fierce alchemists in the nation. But Zilan's secret business has attracted the attention of the Empress, who will need Zilan's resurrecting abilities to keep her safe from threats within and outside of the palace.
