Heir of Depravity

*Warning: Restricted Content* Nikolai is the last born of his seven brothers, and the only one left behind when his father, the king of Rodakrov, went mad. Six years later, the king dies and Nikolai, at just fifteen, must take the throne for himself. But succession is never that easy. Soon after his inauguration, his eldest brother appears before him, demanding that he cede power to the oldest of their shared bloodline... forgetting that the brother he was commanding was a child of a mad king, raised in the deepest pools of insanity. An heir to depravity itself. And depravity does not take orders. It does not follow the law of man or kingdom. It knows not the meaning of mercy. A single drop within an ocean, and the entire ocean is blighted. **The romance included within this story is slow burn, and it is neither linear nor simple. You've been warned! Also, LGBT elements are included throughout :) ** Find me on Discord: https://discord.gg/PuEFyDQKmZ

Malo groaned and sat back in her chair, practically having to peel herself from the tan pages of the tome.

'Acetate', 'silicate', 'vitriol', 'ceration', 'congelation' – Malo would've said they might as well have been in a foreign language, but they were.

The Casterian Empire's Church Sanctorum was the largest benefactor to the advancement of alchemy – ironically enough – and, thus, all the alchemical terms were specifically Casterian in nature.
