In my hometown, there is a high amount of superstition that goes on around here and you have to be extremely careful with whom you entrust your secrets. As a matter of fact, nobody can ever truly be trusted even your own mother especially with the secrets mama and I keep from this town. These secrets can lead to chaos and death.
There is this legend that by the bayou there are sirens who call upon you from the great beyond. If you answer the call or it's brought to you then you're doomed and there's no running or hiding since now they want you. You'll forever be a soldier fighting battles and never have a home or a sweetheart to keep you sane... There's a folk song we sing about the bayou:
Beware of the bayou
My mother told me beware of the bayou don't listen to the trattorias waves coming for you at the speed of light
Don't you go to the bayou past midnight or you'll hear the sirens coming calling upon as a soldier
fighting endless battles no way to stop it be a soldier till the end of time
never knowing home as a place no bloodshed
Only home is the bloody battlefield
Watch out for the calling....

One story, multiple ways to enjoy it! Read the bestselling published book right here as Wattpad Original or experience the story as a Webcomic on WEBTOON. Dive into the world of love and magic, any way you like to read. *** Sometimes love is the strongest magic of all *** Nineteen-year-old Rhia Greenbrook has lived in the sleepy town of Oakriver in a house with three generations of witches her entire life. Rhia draws her magic from the earth and likes to spend her time amongst plants and nature. Her practice is gentle, sacred, and-per her family's tradition-secret. New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them. But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.
