The New Alchemists is Marie Lu’s newest series, launching with Red City in 2025. The series marks another new direction for an author who has consistently explored different corners of YA fiction across her career.

Lu built her reputation with the Legend trilogy and later the Young Elites and Warcross series. Each of those went in a different direction, from dystopian to dark fantasy to near-future sci-fi. The New Alchemists brings her back to fantasy territory.

Red City is the only book published so far. Readers should expect more installments, though release dates have not been announced yet. It can be picked up independently of Lu’s other work.
