Athanasia lived an isolated life, far beyond the rolling hills of Scotland, in a vast and shadowed castle rose. Locals spoke of it in hushed voices, telling travellers to turn back if they valued their lives. Those who ignored the warnings often. Many said it was no place to raise a child, too cold, too dark, too steeped in old magic and fear.

And yet, behind its looming walls, Athanasia was loved. Truly, deeply loved. Within the castle's quiet halls lived warmth that no outsider ever saw. It was the only home she had ever known, a place she believed she would never leave, nor want to.

That certainty shattered one night when a witch arrived beneath in the early mornings. In her hand was a single letter, small, ordinary in appearance, yet heavy with promise. A letter that would awaken Athanasia's magic, pull her toward friendship and curiosity, and lead her, unknowingly, toward love. A letter that would change everything.
