When restless spirits begin targeting her loved ones, a reluctant witch turns to her late mother's grimoire and awakens an ancient, cunning spirit whose protection comes at a deadly cost, forcing her to untangle a family curse before it consumes them both.
❦ ❦ ❦
Olivia Dubois didn't want magic, and she definitely didn't want him.
For years, Olivia has shied away from her late mother's craft, determined to ignore the spirits stalking her every step. But the dead don't simply fade away. Now, they are targeting the people she loves.
Driven by guilt, Olivia turns to her mother's grimoire-only to awaken something far more dangerous than the ghosts she hoped to escape.
Caecus is ancient, dangerous, and far too charming for someone that shouldn't exist. He offers her an enticing deal: absolute protection in exchange for her time. But time is a luxury Olivia quickly realizes she doesn't have.
The more she learns from Caecus, the deeper she sinks into his games. She is drawn by his charisma, unnerved by his power, and tempted by a promise of freedom from the curse that has plagued her bloodline for centuries. But every step she takes wears the barrier between the living and the dead thinner. Shadowy forces are closing in, and secrets buried by her ancestors are clawing to the surface. Olivia must confront a terrifying truth: Caecus's interest in her is no coincidence.
To survive, she must decide how much of herself she is willing to surrender to the past, her awakening power, and the cunning spirit who may be her ultimate ruin... or her salvation.

Mokpo, We Go! ≈ Sion
Sion was a lead dancer in Seoul who was on the verge of reaching success with his dance team when he found out that his girlfriend had passed away due to a car accident while on the way to his dance festival. Consumed by grief and unable to perform, he retreated to his hometown, Mokpo, spending his days floating on a boat in the Yellow Sea. A few months later, Jiwon arrived in Mokpo from Seoul, seeking her own temporary change from her own heartache and an unsatisfying job as a marketing assistant. She quickly began to date again while attempting to rediscover her own passion for life. Their worlds collided one night when Sion spotted a woman who looked like his late girlfriend stumbling onto the street. He rushed over to prevent another tragedy, only for Jiwon to tell him that she was not his girlfriend. Their annoyance with each other's presence grew when they discovered that Sion delivered seafood to the very restaurant Jiwon's parents owned. They tried not to cross paths, but perhaps Mokpo isn't such a big city after all. As they met and shared the same inner circle of friends, who were embarking on their own meaningful journeys, the two wanderers ultimately had to face their own challenges and each other with the courage to ignite their own passions that may lie far beyond the shores of Mokpo.
