About this listen
It starts with a class in an old movie theatre. Folklore 517: Local Legends and Urban Myths, taught by a woman called the Professor.
Most students believe the Professor's stories are just fiction, but Holland St. James has always been convinced that magic is real.
Her search for the truth leads her to a dazzling new world, a deadly ultimatum hidden at the heart of Los Angeles, and into the path of a magnetic stranger who claims he's been sent to save her life.
But everyone in this intoxicating new world is lying to her, even this stranger. And if she can't figure out whom to trust, her magical reality could change from a Hollywood dream to a nightmare.
Alchemy of Secrets is the spectacular new novel from global phenomenon Stephanie Garber, the multimillion-copy bestselling author of the Caraval and Once Upon a Broken Heart series. Fusing spellbinding Hollywood secrets with a cinematic mystery, it will transport you into another world.©2025 Stephanie Garber (P)2025 Orion Publishing Group Limited
Editorial Review
A magical listen for Halloween season
Stephanie Garber architects a dazzling adult debut that juxtaposes folklore against the glittering LA skyline. Holland St. James has always believed in magic, which is why she was the top student—and now teaching assistant—for a legendary class called Folklore 517. When she unlocks one of the class’s myths and meets the Watch Man, she’s overflowing with excitement—until the Watch Man tells her that she’s going to die at 11:59 p.m. on Halloween (which is tomorrow night) unless she finds the Alchemical Heart. The ticking clock device fuels the narrative with urgency—and Holland’s actions with a frenetic energy—that underscores the stakes and makes it difficult to discern who to trust. Actress Sutton Foster infuses the story with a bit of her own magic, delivering on the glamour of Old Hollywood that Garber has woven into her myths.
Alchemy of Secrets absolutely glitters, and it already has me wanting to trade a few of my own secrets for an early look at Book 2. —Katie O., Audible Editor
