Two Angels - one good, one evil - one Black and one White - descend onto the material plane with a common goal in mind. Both sides have learnt of the existence of the Alchemist and need to convince him to join their side in order to vanquish the other. And so the dark and bright seraphs enter the world of a seemingly ordinary boy that will change their immortal existences forever. A story of love, lust, despair, of sacrifice of the human will, The Alchemist is a fantastical journey through myriads of human emotions - one they will remain etched in the reader's mind forever.
