Wings Of A Nightingale ⌯ Once Upon A Time

❝ when you're terrified of yourself, what you can do, who you can hurt, you're not exactly open to reason ❞

Magic is real. Not the run of the mill card trick or penny behind the ear, but real magic. It flourishes in other realms with people using it for the benefit of others or for their own selfish deeds.

A gift or a curse? The answer may vary; for Nadia, it was a curse, it was the Devil on her shoulder, making her struggle to resist the darkest temptations of her heart. Despite it, Nadia found the good in her life, holding onto it with everything she had because there were forces out there desperate to let it all fall down.

There's a small town hidden in Maine, the population frozen in time by the Dark Curse, their past selves forgotten and docile. Ask anyone a question about their past, a fog will cover their memories. The clock in the centre of the town stays still, its hands unmoving, an echo of the past.

Tilly found herself struggling, her bookstore was just getting by, her apartment was a mess and she found it difficult to reject a drink. She was barely hanging on by a thread, and that thread consisted of two people, Henry Mills and Michael Forman; without them, she was lost.

She was stuck, frozen in her torture.

Then one day, the clock starts to move.
