Is there profit in gaining the whole world, but losing your soul? Galan Faraday’s refusal to join the rogue alchemist and wizards puts him at the ire of Lucien Bonaparte. The Master Wizard goes head-to-head against the Master Alchemist in an apocalyptic battle. The wizard traps Galan’s soul in a hellish vision. To escape, Galan must choose to pass through the Tree of the Soul. The rite of passage for all alchemists is a seven-stage trial. These internal trials have external consequences. If Galan cannot pass each stage, he will lose his soul. Some within the trial think that having a soulless Master Alchemist is an asset. While others help Galan remain true to himself. What if the world needs a soulless man to save it? If Galan survives the gauntlet, who will emerge? A wise and caring man or a terrorizing beast without a soul? Dove on a Skull is an urban fantasy thriller. It is the third book in the Alchemist Heir series written by Kimbra Swain for Argento Publishing. If you like Jim Butcher, Shayne Silvers, Cameron O’Connell, Hunter Blain, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or K.F. Breene, you won't be able to put down the highly addictive Alchemist Heir series.

From early in life Kimbra Swain was indoctrinated in the ways of geekdom. Raised on Star Wars, Tolkien, Superheroes and Voltron, she found herself immersed in a world of imagination. She started writing in high school, and completed her English degree from the University of Alabama in 2003. ​ Her writing is influenced by a gamut of authors including Jane Austen, J.R.R. Tolkien, L.M. Montgomery, Timothy Zahn, Kathy Reichs, Kevin Hearne and Jim Butcher. ​ Born and raised in Alabama, Kimbra still lives there with her husband and 5 year old daughter. When she isn't reading or writing, she plays PC games, makes jewelry and builds cars. Please visit my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.
