Every family has secrets, but Lilac Mercer's might just tear her world apart.

In a small town shrouded by mystic forces, Lilac stumbles into a tangled web of ancient magic and forgotten history. What begins as an innocent search for the truth behind her family's strange legacy spirals into a dangerous journey filled with forbidden magic, cryptic symbols, and dark forces lurking in the shadows.

As she digs deeper, two friends emerge to help-or complicate-her quest: Orion, the steadfast protector, and Sol, the mischievous rebel with a secret of his own. Torn between them, Lilac's growing feelings lead her into a battle not just for her heart, but for her very soul.

As the mysteries deepen, Lilac uncovers a truth she never saw coming-one that will force her to confront the darkest parts of her past and make an impossible choice.

Secrets have power. Will Lilac survive hers?

14 parts Complete
In the shadowed alleys of a hidden London, where ancient magic collides with the relentless surge of advanced technology, an age-old prophecy threatens to unravel the delicate balance of two intertwined worlds. Arin Valeria, a 150-year-old alchemist with a fraying mind despite his mastery of ancient magic, stands on the precipice of this impending conflict. His daughter, Lila Valeria, embodies the bridge between eras, merging the arcane and the modern with her innovative spirit. The Valeria family's tranquil existence shatters when Maxwell Reed, a powerful tech mogul and dabbler in dark magic, launches a ruthless campaign to dominate both realms. As Maxwell's technologically enhanced abominations spread terror, Arin and Lila must unite their unique knowledge and strengths. Their ancient family golem, imbued with the wisdom of centuries, becomes their steadfast ally in this desperate battle for survival. From the creation of sentient golems to the emergence of charmed batteries, the Valerias face escalating confrontations. A catastrophic explosion merges a will-o'-the-wisp with a golem's core, birthing a new form of sentience and heralding an unprecedented war. As technology infiltrates every aspect of life and magic's influence wanes, alliances are tested, and the lines between good and evil blur. Ethan, a brilliant coder and Lila's admirer, sacrifices everything by embedding himself into Maxwell's network to dismantle it from within. His agonizing journey reveals the dark synergy between Maxwell's malevolent magic and cutting-edge technology. In a heart-wrenching finale, Ethan's ultimate act of bravery destabilizes Maxwell's grip on both worlds, but at the cost of his life and the future he longed for with Lila.
