Not everything should be left to Chance.

Plagued by misfortune all of his life, Chance, a frustrated alchemist living in the dregs of a luckless coastal city, struggles just to maintain his own laboratory. Alchemy is a dying craft, replaced by the obsession of the forward-thinking meritocracy for their newfangled clockwork mechanisms. Every waking moment is a trial to endure as Chance and his friends face the injustices imposed by the meritocracy as they’re continued to be overlooked.

But when Chance’s mentor unlocks the hidden mysteries of the aether—the very essence of men’s souls—their days of obscurity are numbered. Chance’s world is about to become a bit more volatile as all eyes turn toward him, and one particular mechanist seeks to merge their discovery with his own. It’s a struggle to safeguard secrets and earn the recognition they deserve, but at what cost?

Full of discovery, desperation, and disaster, Aether Spark is a compelling first installment that shows just how unexpectedly a life can change with a simple catalyst.
