The people who go into the sky don't come back.
Alchemised meets The Hunger Games in Carousel, an upcoming twisty, steampunk-inspired dystopian romantasy debut from Beth Best that sees a young woman who, when forced to undergo an enemy conversion programme during a sky war, finds herself torn between two vastly different countries, and between two deeply flawed men.
Staying loyal just might break her heart.
Meet Beth
A story has lived in my heart for ten years. A story about love and war, and difficult choices in the face of them.
I've written many books over the last decade, but none have quite consumed me the way Carousel did, an idea that came to me in a dream when I was teenager. I spent ten years on and off writing the book and researching it. I picked the idea up again in early 2026... and I finally did it. I finally finished the book, and it's everything I wanted it to be.
My wonderfully flawed charactes are alive.
And I'm so excited for you to meet them.

Grab your leather jacket and let's fly.
