Alchemy of secrets

Folklor 517: Local Myths and Urban Legends is taught by a mysterious woman known to everyone simply as the Professor. While most students dismiss her stories as fiction, Holland St. James has always believed that magic is real. When she manages to track down a local legend, the Timekeeper, who can allegedly predict the exact day and hour of your death, Holland's excitement knows no bounds. But there is a catch: the Timekeeper tells her she will die at midnight tomorrow unless she can find an ancient and rare artefact – the alchemist's heart.

With the clock ticking down, Holland dives deeper into a magical world hidden in the very heart of Los Angeles, where she crosses paths with a captivating stranger. Holland is wary of him, but he claims her sister sent him to protect her. Together, they follow clues and investigate legends that bring them closer to the alchemist's heart, but Holland slowly begins to realise that everyone in this intoxicating new world is lying to her – including the mysterious stranger. And if she cannot work out who to trust, not even the alchemist's heart can save her.
