GRIFFINPUFFCHILD
Anastasia has no clue how to deal with the death of her father. Other than to do anything she can to keep her mind off of it. As a result, she's grown distant with her friends, her mother's boyfriend, and even her mother herself.
She would rather work herself to exhaustion than crumble under the weight of grief that comes with the death of a loved one. It's been three years, and she's still up to the same habits. Keep busy, don't think.
One day, while moving some boxes to the attic containing her father's old items, she finds a mysterious object with a note attached to it. The day after she found and read the note, strange things start to appear in Rocklin, California. Sightings of a large purple snake hellbent on getting four particular blades and awakening an ancient evil, flying ships, and eight interesting people who are new to town.
