Theo has been raised for twelve years as the adopted son of respected Alchemist Brenock Chimius. At midnight on his 13th birthday, his Mutolo shows up, a fierce Fire Fox, which means that Theo is not an Alchemist, but an Alkrem. The Alkrem are persecuted and hunted by the Archemists. Theo and his father attempt to flee, but only Theo makes it to safety. Theo's father is wounded and taken prisoner, and the only thing that might save him is a mysterious weapon that has incredible power, including the ability to heal. Theo is desperate to find this weapon to save the only family he knows. Suddenly he finds himself thrust into a world of power, conflicts, magic, and secrets.
I was drawn in by Theo's mysterious past and his desperate attempt to save his father. The world building is solid, but not overwhelming, and the size makes it readable. The story wraps up well after one book, though there is another one coming, which I am down for. There is plenty of action, which is nicely paced, and there is sufficient tension to keep the reader hooked.
