Alchemical Dreamer

By Mike Struan

Kraghtol Wulfspar has never truly belonged. The only half-orc in a land of humans, he's spent his life assisting his adoptive father, the healer of Mistpine. Close enough to be useful, never close enough to be accepted. He's learned to swallow the stares, the silence, the feeling of being tolerated instead of trusted.

When he finds a traveler injured in the woods, a mysterious man who insists Kraghtol be the one to treat him, his life turns upside down. As payment, the stranger leaves behind a potion said to turn him human. For Kraghtol, who's dreamed of becoming an alchemist all his life, it feels like the first real spark of possibility.

But every miracle has its price. Caught in the currents of guild politics and shadowed power, Kraghtol crosses paths with Valir, a sharp-tongued noble with even sharper secrets. As their fates intertwine, Kraghtol must decide what kind of man he wants to become:
the one the world accepts, or the one who dares to be free.

Alchemical Dreamer is an emotional fantasy about identity, defiance, and the quiet hope that refuses to die - the beginning of the saga of a half-orc searching for more than humanity.
