At Merrow House, magic isn’t just taught — it’s buried in the bones of the school.

Eighteen-year-old Ren, quiet and uncertain in both magic and identity, arrives at Merrow House — a gothic, ivy-choked school for students attuned to nature’s strange magic. Their arrival triggers more than academic challenge: during the orientation, Ren is mysteriously chosen by a bark-and-bone owl, a long-extinct creature tied to a brutal massacre that occurred on campus thirty years prior.

As the sentient earth around Merrow House begins to mutate — twisting flora, bleeding shadows, corrupted roots — Ren, alongside the enigmatic Juniper and their shadowy familiar, unearths a suppressed history involving forbidden rituals, ancient entities, and a powerful being known only as the Weaver. Bound by queer love, shared trauma, and rising powers they barely understand, the two must decipher cryptic texts, face spectral guardians, and survive a world unraveling beneath their feet.

The school is hiding something ancient. And it’s waking up.
