Red City

Alchemy is the hidden art of transformation. In Angel City, two rival crime syndicates sell it in the form of a drug that gives people everything they want: beauty, intellect, charisma. The city teeters on the edge between luxury and crime, polite agreements and bloody war. Sam dreams of escaping poverty and is willing to risk anything to be among the members of Grand Central. Ari, raised by the Lumines, is their greatest weapon. Once they loved each other, now they stand on opposite sides of a conflict that could destroy the city and themselves.
