Del Rey Books (Sept 2025). SenLinYu "Alchemised". US Signed First Edition, First Printing. Personally signed by SenLinYu directly onto the FFEP (First Free End Paper) of the book. This edition is now OUT OF PRINT from the publisher and sold out everywhere. Hardcover book with dust-jacket. Limited Slipcased Edition of only 25 copies with hand-numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Archival acid-free protection. As new, sealed without any flaws.

Alchemised is popular now due to the viral success of its original Harry Potter fanfiction, Manacled, on platforms like TikTok and Ao3. The story's massive popularity led to a traditional publishing deal, and Alchemised is a reimagined version of Manacled by SenLinYu, set to be released by Del Rey in September 2025. The book is highly anticipated by fans of the original work and the "Dramione" (Draco/Hermione) fanfiction trend.

Manacled gained millions of readers and downloads, becoming a phenomenon within the fanfiction community.

The Harry Potter Connection: Alchemised is related to Harry Potter because it is an officially published, rewritten version of a popular Harry Potter fanfiction called Manacled, by the author SenLinYu.

The Harry Potter fanfiction was set in an alternate universe where Voldemort won, and featured a "Dramione" (Draco and Hermione) romance in a dark fantasy setting, which Alchemised transforms with new characters and magic systems while retaining its original "pull-to-pub" origins. 

Alchemised is part of a larger trend of Harry Potter fanfiction being adapted into traditionally published novels, further increasing its visibility and anticipation.

BookTok Virality: The fanfiction went viral on TikTok in 2023 and 2024, introducing the story to a much wider audience.

Dramione Fandom: The popularity of Alchemised is driven by the massive interest in Dramione fanfiction, a popular "enemies-to-lovers" trope within the Harry Potter fandom.

A "New" Story: Alchemised allows fans to experience SenLinYu's story with new characters and an original plot, while still capturing the spirit of the beloved Manacled.

Alchemised

All hope seems lost for Helena, a prisoner of war grappling with a dreary world of death and dark magic — and an inexplicable case of amnesia. Epic and engrossing, Alchemised is the gritty and gothic read we’ve all been waiting for.

In this riveting dark fantasy debut, a woman with missing memories fights to survive a war-torn world of necromancy and alchemy—and the man tasked with unearthing the deepest secrets of her past.

“What is it you think you’re protecting in that brain of yours? The war is over. Holdfast is dead. The Eternal Flame extinguished. There’s no one left for you to save.”

Once a promising alchemist, Helena Marino is now a prisoner—of war and of her own mind. Her Resistance friends and allies have been brutally murdered, her abilities suppressed, and the world she knew destroyed.

In the aftermath of a long war, Paladia’s new ruling class of corrupt guild families and depraved necromancers, whose vile undead creatures helped bring about their victory, holds Helena captive.

According to Resistance records, she was a healer of little importance within their ranks. But Helena has inexplicable memory loss of the months leading up to her capture, making her enemies wonder: Is she truly as insignificant as she appears, or are her lost memories hiding some vital piece of the Resistance’s final gambit?

To uncover the memories buried deep within her mind, Helena is sent to the High Reeve, one of the most powerful and ruthless necromancers in this new world. Trapped on his crumbling estate, Helena’s fight—to protect her lost history and to preserve the last remaining shreds of her former self—is just beginning. For her prison and captor have secrets of their own . . . secrets Helena must unearth, whatever the cost.
