The Oculus: Tale of the Two Brothers
by Elizabeth Cooke

Provided they have the skill, an alchemist may turn lead into gold, brew the elixir of life, and touch the forces that bind the world itself. When Theodore Clemment, a teenage runaway, is captured for forbidden alchemical knowledge, his younger brother Sebastian must cross the continent of Asyra to save him. Survival forces Sebastian to confront vile creatures, dangerous powers, buried family secrets, and his fragile sense of self, lest the dark secrets of his family's past consume him entirely.
