Lilou

The Shadyside Chronicles

If you try to ignore it for too long, magic might just catch up with you. What happens when everyday life collides with the generational memory of witchcraft? Lilou learns it the hard way.

After choosing accounting over witchcraft, Lilou is finally at peace. She earnestly leads a normal life: she is a wife, a mother, and an ambitious employee at a prestigious firm, trying to break the glass ceiling.

Only the occult is all around her.

During a moment of crisis, Lilou meets a domovoy, a hobgoblin who lives in her home and claims to protect her from harm. The creature is impossible to ignore, and forces her to acknowledge that the world is more complex than she’d ever imagined. The encounter with the domovoy changes the trajectory of Lilou’s life and makes her reconsider her choices. She embraces her destiny and joins her rightful place in a line of powerful witches.
