Only the elite few are allowed to study alchemical magic, so when Ash is rejected, he becomes a groundskeeper instead, studying alchemy in secret. Enter Ramsay Thorne who has every reason to expose Ash until they realize that he is the key to finding the Book of Source. Together they strike a deal, Ash helps them find their book and Ramsay will apprentice them. But as they continue down the path to the book they find themselves embroiled in a plot of nefarious alchemists all gunning for it themselves.
 
This was fun. I enjoyed the magic system and thought it was interesting to follow. The characters are fine if not predictable in their actions. I did enjoy how queer, trans, and polyamorous this story was though, and mostly enjoyed every romance that we saw. This was a fun romp and I'll probably pick up the sequel when it comes out. 4/5
