Digital Sorcery: Arc One

She kept secrets to protect him. He kept questions to protect them all. When Beaverton's magic surfaces, only both can hold the balance.

Emma: "I always thought the weirdest thing about Beaverton would be an eccentric neighbor or two. I wasn't prepared for the houseplants sighing, the mirror humming, or the lake remembering entire cities. I kept my hands busy with pots, recipes, and a new tech startup-until the night the equinox broke loose and the town began to breathe magic."

Alex: never wanted to be wrong. His analytics could explain the sun and moon, but not why his coffee spun without help or the way a river suddenly hummed like a living wire. When Emma finally told him the truth (about her heritage and the town's hidden wards) his curiosity didn't retreat. It sharpened.

Together they must gather artifacts, rally friends, and decode a ritual older than any of their lives. For Emma it's a reckoning with the family she never told him about. For Alex it's a radical redefinition of what his data can measure. And for Beaverton-there's everything to lose.
