The Alchemy of Fate
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler comes the latest installment in the thrilling Invisible College series as the fate of the world hangs in the balance of two star-crossed lovers determined to unravel fate—even amid betrayals, a looming war, and twisted secrets of the past.
For now, the centuries-long war between mortalkind and the Aesir is quiet. Yet not over. With the coming of winter, a season in which the Aesir thrive, they will resurface. Only two people, united by magic, can stop them. But first they’ll have to survive more imminent threats to their lives.
Robinson Hawksley is of the tragic belief that his beloved wife, McKenna, has perished in a sorcerer’s fire—just as he is about to ascend to the highest rank in the magic order of the Invisible College. But as Robinson navigates political machinations, deception, and betrayal, not everything is as it seems. McKenna, a woman of uncanny mysteries, has been abducted as an offering to the Aesir that promises to end the invasion once and for all. Now she is running for her life.
To reunite, Robinson and McKenna have so much to learn about themselves and each other. Amid secrets, sacrifices, and long-dormant memories restored, they still hold the power to save the world.

Jeff Wheeler
Jeff Wheeler’s writing journey is as much about personal transformation as it is about the intricate worlds he weaves. Born in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Jeff was immersed in technology from a young age, a background that contrasts with the sweeping fantasy realms that now define his work. But the marriage of the two—his technical mind and his boundless creativity—has made him one of the standout authors in modern fantasy.
After earning degrees in history and business from San Jose State University, Jeff carved out a successful career at Intel Corporation, but his passion for storytelling never waned. What started as late-night writing sessions grew into something more. Inspired by fantasy legends like Terry Brooks’ The Elfstones of Shannara, Jeff realized that he had stories to tell—stories of magic, power, and deep emotional journeys.
The Invisible College
In a world where magic and music intertwine, The Invisible College is a fantasy series that challenges the boundaries of what we know about both. The first book takes readers into a 19th-century-inspired world where knowledge, power, and sound converge in an extraordinary system of magic. Here, sorcerers don’t wield wands but instead channel the Unseen Powers through speech and melody—an ancient form of magic hidden in plain sight.
The Invisible College consists of four books — considered a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
