Matea Langston, founder, August Alchemy

I might be 26 on the outside, but when I make candles for my business, August Alchemy, I’m still that 11-year-old who spent every lunch in the library reading.

Growing up an only child with an overactive imagination, fictional worlds were my favorite escape—and in 2020, I found my way back to them.

The cult classics of adult romantasy, like ”ACOTAR” and ”The Cruel Prince” lit something in me, and the only way I knew how to respond was by creating things inspired by those stories reshaping my life!

That’s how my little business was born—and five years later, it’s still one of the greatest loves of my life.

It’s been an honor to make pieces that bring people closer to their favorite characters, and this piece for ThriftBooks might just be the biggest one yet.

So, for every person who prefers their love stories sprinkled with daggers instead of kisses—I made this for you.

P.S. For every book lover who dreams in tropes and lives for a little magic, you’re wildly welcome here.
