At 37,  Cambry Keller has spent her entire life feeling as if something was just a bit... off. Her job, her relationships, her home-all perfectly ordinary, yet there was always a nagging feeling deep within her that she was meant for something more, something extraordinary. But nothing ever changed, and soon, she resigned herself to the quiet monotony of her life. Until the fall after she turned 37. In the span of a single autumn, everything Cambry  thought she knew about herself-and the world around her-was turned upside down. Strange dreams begin to haunt her nights, filled with forgotten symbols and places she's never been, yet feels intimately familiar. Her body begins to change in subtle, unexplainable ways: heightened senses, a newfound connection to the natural world, and the inexplicable ability to influence the elements. As the leaves fall, Cambry uncovers long-buried family secrets that reveal her true heritage: a powerful bloodline with ties to an ancient mystical order. The dormant magic within her awakens, and Emily finds herself thrust into a world of enchantment, danger, and ancient forces vying for control. Her journey of self-discovery leads her to allies and enemies, both human and supernatural, as she grapples with the powerful abilities she never knew she possessed. But as her powers grow, so too does a looming threat. Cambry must learn to control the magic that now courses through her veins, or risk not only her life, but the fate of the world. In this transformative season, Cambry will come to understand that she is not just different-she is extraordinary. And the time for her true purpose has finally come.

23 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world where magic is whispered about in hushed tones and ancient prophecies loom large, Rylla's life changes forever when war breaks out in her small village of Elderglen. Caught in the crossfire, she is saved by a mysterious stranger, Kaelith, a man who walks in shadows and seems to know far more about the world than he lets on. As Rylla grapples with the loss of her home, she finds herself drawn into a web of secrets, prophecies, and a long-buried war between two worlds-the human realm and the fae. Rylla soon discovers that her connection to magic runs deeper than she ever imagined, and the dreams that have haunted her for years may hold the key to her destiny. Torn between the familiar and the unknown, she must decide who to trust as ancient enemies awaken, and a new darkness threatens to engulf both worlds. With Kaelith as her guide, Rylla embarks on a dangerous journey to unlock the secrets of her past and confront the truth about her identity. But Kaelith himself harbors dark secrets, and his connection to the shadowy war that tore their worlds apart might not be as innocent as it seems. Their bond deepens into something neither expected, but with tensions rising and enemies closing in, they must learn to navigate their fragile alliance-before it's too late. In a tale of love, war, and the blurred lines between light and shadow, Rylla must uncover the truth behind the prophecies that have shaped her fate, and confront the darkness that threatens to destroy everything she holds dear.

Olivia Scott, a New York girl who thought her life was edging perfection with a loving family, luxury, and friends. But little did she know it was far from fairytale, and let alone ordinary. Born with the powers far more dangerous than any, she was led to believe her life was anything but special. Living in a world of deceit, she was adamant on the danger she was marked since the day she was born. But no secrets can remain untold. And she was bound to know them. She was bound to change everything with the help of a mysterious man who suddenly barged into her life. With a touch of fate, a sprinkle of emotions, and bounties on their head, the two hearts found each other as they fought together on a life-altering adventure in their journey to save their people and their world. ~~ "Why are you telling us this anyway?" She asked the man from the future, as he leaned back to the shelf behind him after finishing his explanation. His emerald-colored eyes met her blue ones as he pierced through them seemingly searching far deeper than his eyes could offer. He had longed for her, every minute, every hour and day, though it was far more than he could ever comprehend. But just seeing her in front of him, alive and young, it was all payed for. "Because the last time, I couldn't save you as you died in my arms. And I'm not letting it happen again." ~~ A dark secret kept with a birth of murder, a life of façade, a leap from the future, and a love bound to break. The heaven and earth will meet and only she can hold them in between. Will it be enough?
