Basicaly this is a book about a form of alchemy, it is not that limited for the alchemist are training in multiple catagories . We can make fire, metals, earth move and the ultimatum goal for these alchemists?
To extend life so the royal family and rich can live for ever.
It is interesting however how much of the focus of this book is not about extending life but actually about cheating death.
Our main girl turns out to be an acomplished necromancer she uses her alchemy gifts to bring back the dead.
There is however when creating good you also create bad for there is always a price to pay.
This book is interresting but also dark and a little grizzly. It has monsters, murder, a lot of blood, plots and deceit. Who will tell wich of our caracters will turn out on top. Or be left standing/living in the end.

The Scarlet Alchemist by Kylie Lee Baker is a compelling read with a richly imagined world and a strong heroine at its core.
