Delilah grew up in a strict Christian home where every question had one answer: pray. But prayer never brought her the peace, clarity, or change she begged for. When life at home becomes unbearable and her world feels smaller by the day, Delilah comes across a person who makes her feel seen, Raven. Raven introduces her to rituals, candles, and "harmless" spells meant to guide her toward the life she desperately wants. For the first time, Delilah feels in control... until the lines between faith, desire, and something far darker begin to blur. As Delilah seeks change from forces she barely understands, she learns that every choice has a cost - and some doors, once opened, don't close easily.
