About Misery Loves Alchemy
“The soul bends before it breaks.”
For Kyle, whose strong Anima has always been a double-edged gift, this ancient proverb whispers a warning. When those he loves vanish, he unleashes a rune, paying with blood for a glimpse into the truth. With his sister at his side, he is thrust into a hidden world where familiar protectors hide secrets and alchemists twist life-essence itself.
To save his friends, Kyle confronts the true, perilous nature of Anima, risking his life and his very soul. But as the line between hero and zealot blurs, the fate of his friends becomes one part of a much greater, creeping darkness that threatens so much more.
Will his sacrifices be enough to avert fate, or will he lose himself before the end?
Marie Garrison’s debut dark fantasy novel, Misery Loves Alchemy, is a fast-paced tale of magic, corruption, and the fight for salvation in a world threatened from the shadows.

Author Bio:
My debut novel, Misery Loves Alchemy, started with a bloody and harsh dream that stuck with me. I couldn’t shake it. I felt driven to write, to explore it, even though I’d never attempted a project like this before.
I poured over a year and a half into learning how to write my book. The early outlines were a struggle. I scrapped countless drafts and started over again. Yet, through all the frustration, the first scene, the one from my dream, held its ground and remained.
As the pieces aligned, I found myself with a complete and satisfying story. Now, I’m excited to dive into my next story, bringing more dark fantasy worlds to life for readers like you.
