The funny total transformation of a witch when she meets three brilliant children.

In a world where time has withered and silence clings to every corner, Eddie wanders the ruins of his crumbling home-haunted by shadows of the past. But beneath the layers of grief and decay, something drives him forward: the search for his missing sister. As Eddie navigates the suffocating emptiness, peeling back memories both tender and tragic, he begins to unravel a chilling mystery buried within the world, within himself. A dark and emotional journey of loss, memory, and the desperate hope that even in a dying world, someone might still be out there... someone good, maybe someone evil...

In a future scorched by war and silence, two teenagers — Aiko and Michael — escape from the suffocating safety of the Walls, a propaganda-fueled society ruled by military control and false promises. Branded as traitors and driven by loss, they journey into the uncharted wasteland, where freedom is just another word for survival. The world beyond is worse than they imagined: polluted skies, ruined cities, and machines of war rotting in the dust. Hope flickers dimly — until they discover a hidden village, seemingly untouched by the decay. The people welcome them with smiles and food. But beneath the kindness lies a horrifying secret: to survive, the villagers consume their own dead. Shattered by this truth, Aiko and Michael flee — but not before forming a fragile bond with Mia, a local girl who never questioned the only world she knew. When Mia begs to escape with them, the trio makes a desperate attempt to flee — only to be caught. As Aiko is forced to kill for the first time, her innocence shatters. The blood stains more than just her hands. Now hunted, broken, and carrying more than just physical scars, Aiko, Michael, and Mia must decide what kind of future is worth living for in a world built on the bones of the old. Is freedom still possible when every safe place demands your soul?

Stella Sterling, born into wealth, had always followed the rules. Jaded by the hypocrisy of high society, she suddenly had a whim one day to have an ordinary romance. Thus, a fabricated rumor that Stella Sterling had spent a fortune to hire a Matchmaker from a dating site to find her a partner quickly spread through her circles.
