Beneath the surface of a world hides an entirely newly evolved form of humanity. Lurking in the shadows, they watch and track as the newly coded strand of DNA spreads across humanity, dormant until it has been activated . . . and until then, this mutated gene will be hidden from humanity until the end of time.
Their existence within the ranks of humanity will eventually be revealed, and soon, war will wage with forces that that are hidden below the surface. If not subdued, they will rise, rise towards the surface and all that's left in its wake will be destruction.

Papers fluttered in the breeze as they rained down on us, my papers mixing with his as I stared up at him with wide eyes. His face was inches away from mine, his hands resting on either side of me.
He pushed himself up abruptly, his ears slightly pink while I sat up, gathering up my sheets while biting my lip, attempting to erase the situation from my memory.
Once I finished gathering the papers around me, I looked up, only to realised he was learning forward, his arm outstretched, his hand in front of me.
I looked up at him, then back down to my hands which were gripping onto my registration files. After a moment of hesitation, I held onto the files with my left, and put my right in his hand, which was warm to the touch, and a smile had spread across his face.

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.
