Spellbound by Denial

In Pasadena California, in the middle of the Covid pandemic, there's a girl named Nicole or as she's more commonly known as: Nic. Despite living what appears to be a normal life, she and her mother are a rare type of magical beings called Golden Culpa. A Golden Culpa is someone who is born from a Culpa bloodline that is mixed with a Witch's bloodline. They have the power of a Culpa and they can practice witchcraft. A Culpa's power is that they radiate an energy around them that makes their targeted being feel every regret they have ever had in their life all at once. Most mythical creatures live a normal everyday life in plain sight of humans, like Nic and her mother. No one notices for the most part but those who do notice find ways to exploit the powers these mythological beings wield for their own personal gain.

One day Nic's mother doesn't return from the grocery store, and she finds herself moving across state lines into her godparents' home in Winthrop, Washington. Nic finds herself dealing with her grief by impulsively deciding to go after the one person who she knows she shouldn't. No one goes after them without consequences or worse death. Especially in her case. She leaves her godparents home to begin her mission: find her mother, make her kidnappers pay. Along the way she makes some unexpected friends of other mythological beings like her and now all of them have to overcome constant moving endeavors, self-doubt, and many roadblocks ahead. There will be loathing, loss, lust, but most important of all, a girl who is way too sarcastic for her own good.
