Description
WHEN THE WORLD BURNS, ASH WILL RISE.
The explosive sequel to instant New York Times bestselling YA debut Infinity Alchemist by Kacen Callender.
The hardcover edition features a beautiful jacket with silver foil, a case stamp, an in-world map and illustrated endpapers.
Ever since he rose up against his father and saved New Anglia from destruction, Ash has been struggling to adapt to his new life. He has nightmares every night, haunted by strange black orbs and his screaming dead mother. Ash is sure she’s trying to warn him that the world is still in danger, and becomes determined to find a way to speak to her again—but communicating with the dead isn’t easy, even for an alchemist as powerful as Ash.
It doesn’t help that violent anti-alchemist sentiment is spreading across New Anglia. When Ash is captured by a radical group, inspired by his father’s legacy, he must decide if alchemist rights can be trusted in the hands of the Houses, along with his partners Callum and Ramsay—or if Ash must follow the path his father laid for him, and become the leader of an alchemist revolution.
Can Ash keep his relationships together and stop the world from falling apart?
“Spellbinding.” —Aiden Thomas · “Brims with possibility.” —A. R. Carpetta · “A thrilling, expansive adventure.” —Elana K. Arnold ·
“A blast of heart-racing magic.” —Andrew Joseph White

Featured Reviews

This was a strong sequel to the Infinity Alchemist and enjoyed how it continued the story from that book. The overall feel worked with the world and characters that were built and enjoyed how good everything worked. Kacen Callender wrote this perfectly and had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed they feel of this. The characters were everything that I was looking for and enjoyed the concept for this. Can’t wait for more.

I absolutely loved the Infinity Alchemist and the sequel was no exception. Alchemists rights are on the line, Ash is having nightmares about black orbs and his mother screaming, finding a way to speak with the dead, and a possible revolution of alchemists?!? This book was well paced, and I enjoyed hearing about these characters again! I felt this book was a bit more action packed than the last one and loved it. A great read for any fantasy lover!
