Clockwork Alchemist: Forge & Family — A grieving celestial alchemist returns in a sickly boy's body on a steampunk island, his power locked away by iron rivets.

On Copper Island, where steam-powered aristocrats prey on the vulnerable, a once-supreme alchemist opens his eyes inside a failing fourteen-year-old. Five iron rivets driven through his frame suppress the celestial magic he sealed away after his mother's death. The island's rotting empire and treacherous noble houses circle the defenseless youth, while a rival from his former existence hunts him, determined to seize the buried strength. His only shield is a sister whose fierce devotion refuses to yield, binding him to a life he never chose and a fight he cannot afford to lose.
