Blanche may be a shy girl, but she is far from ordinary.
Beneath her quiet demeanor lies a rare and powerful force, drawing the attention of ancient Nordic forces ⚔️🥀
As a descendant of Persephone, the goddess of the earth, half-god, half-wizard, the power of rebirth flows within her, yet she remains completely unaware of her true heritage.
'Your freckles are stars in the night sky, each one twinkling gently, perfectly scattered across your cheeks.''

In 1980, amidst the ancient and mysterious streets of Edinburgh, hidden in the shadows of modern civilization, lies the Bruwlyde School of Magic.
For a year, Blanche had lived a peaceful life at the academy-until everything changed when her sister, Catherine, mysteriously fled. Soon after, a murder occurred on campus, and suspicion quickly fell upon Catherine.
Blanche refuses to believe her sister is the killer, and standing by her side are her witty friend Daniel and the composed Bejamin.
Meanwhile, a new substitute teacher, Madeline Farmiga, arrives at the school. Elegant and courageous, she fills the void in Blanche's heart, becoming the strong figure Blanche looks up to. Yet beneath her beautiful exterior, Madeline harbors a far more dangerous agenda.
They search for the truth amid the chaos, and as lies unravel and danger draws near, Blanche and her companions find themselves drawn into a conspiracy far greater than they ever imagined-one that could change their fates forever, especially when Madeline's true identity is revealed.
In a world where magic and murder intertwine, Blanche, Daniel, and Bejamin must learn to navigate through danger as they seek their own paths.
