Alchemy of Secrets (Barnes & Noble Edition)

Graduate student Holland St. James enters a class on folklore at a Los Angeles movie-theater campus, taught by a figure known only as “the Professor.” Most students dismiss the subject as myth. But Holland, haunted by her tragic past, is determined to prove some legends are real. Her focus falls on the Watch Man – a local legend said to know when you will die. When the Watch Man tells Holland she will die at midnight tomorrow unless she finds a mysterious object called the Alchemical Heart, the world she knows fractures. Thrust into a secretive, magic-infused underworld and joined by a dangerous stranger claiming to be sent by her sister, Holland must unravel who is lying and who she can trust – because even the Alchemical Heart may not save her.
