Living in a society where love has been deemed a sin was hellish enough for Serlia. She was a witch and in love with a woman whom she could die for. Now she has to live in secret with her lover and practice witchcraft. In 1692, during a time of witch hunts and religious persecution, Serlia and her partner face constant danger simply for who they are and what they believe. Their love is considered blasphemy, their magical abilities condemned as evil, yet together they've built a sanctuary in the woods where they can be true to themselves.

Living was hard.

Especially when Serlia lived in a time when witches were burnt alive. As a cherry on top, she was in love with a woman. She's always been. Her lover completely stole her heart and she couldn't imagine a single day without her. No matter how much she tried, even if she tried her best, she knew that she couldn't protect her forever.

Society deemed witchcraft evil, women weak, and homosexuality a sin. Serlia's parent and siblings were no better than any man who was holding power in the country. They kicked her out when she was just a 15-year-old teenager just because she was gay. Fortunately for Serlia, that wasn't the end of the story. An older kind witch named Margaret found her and hid her in her house, giving her sanctuary in a small place far from the prying eyes of people.

Serlia became fascinated with witchcraft because of Margaret. She taught her everything she knew, everything that she could protect herself with. Margaret was proud of her for learning really fast, as if she was born to be a witch. However, when she was 19, she saw this beautiful gorgeous girl, whom she later learned the name of. My, She's so beautiful... She always used to think. Turns out, her lover had the same fate as Serlia. Her lover's parents also disowned her, leaving her to rot outside, and for what? Because she liked women, because she liked witchcraft. Fucking ridiculous...

The more time she spent with her lover, the more infatuated she became with her. Her lover felt the same too. She was head over heels for her, but they were both scared to confess to each other. It all started with them practicing magic together. Her lover would always get into some trouble, or she did a spell wrong, or set the wrong thing on fire with her spells and Serlia was always with her to get things right. Sometimes she would take the blame for her lover accidentally breaking Margaret's container jars.

The coffin on the nail for Serlia falling in love with her lover was that fateful night. The morning after that was supposed to be an exam taken by Margaret, to test their abilities. But her lover was terrified, no matter what she did, she always messed up something. Serlia sensed her lover's distress, so she came to the rescue. She sneaked into her lover's room upstairs and taught her everything she knew.

The next day after the exam, her lover ran towards Serlia and kissed her on the lips for the first time, which shocked her. That kiss was everything they both wished for, it was a kiss that started everything...
