BLOODLINES | Chaennie

"Every family has a legacy. Ours was written in blood."

For centuries, four ancient bloodlines, the guardians of The Council, have ruled their town in secrecy, bound by a history forged after purging a disgraced fifth family. Among four inseparable friends, Roseanne, Lisa, Wendy, and Seulgi, each stands as the last remaining heir to their bloodline. With Roseanne's eighteenth birthday rapidly approaching, the countdown to the Ascension begins-the sacred ritual where their dormant lineage fully awakens. But before the ritual can take place, the protective veil shielding their sanctuary shatters, unleashing horrors and unknown entities the town has never seen.

A sinister force born of forbidden magic stalks the shadows, exposing deadly betrayals and ancient secrets buried deep within the founding families. As the Fifth Family's shadow returns to exact vengeance, the bond between the four friends is tested by paranoia, forbidden rituals, and the sudden appearance of dangerous magic.

At the center of the chaos, Roseanne finds herself agonizingly torn. Bound by blood to her friends and her inherited duty to uphold the Council's legacy, she is equally drawn to the quiet sanctuary she has found in someone outside the bloodlines-a love that offers her a true home beyond duty and sacrifice.

With time running out before her eighteenth year seals her fate, Roseanne must decide: Will she embrace the blood-soaked mandate of her ancestors, or will she defy the Council to protect the life and love she chose for herself?

Note: A dark supernatural fantasy inspired by the gothic atmosphere of The Covenant (2006), featuring ancient witch bloodlines, secret societies, forbidden magic, mystery, romance, and deadly betrayals.
