[Western fantasy + Greek mythology + mermaids + ensemble cast + revenge + seemingly innocent but secretly dark]
The ordinary life you thought you had is a lie carefully woven by the gods.
Lilyville, a little witch who can barely control a levitation spell, has only one wish: to tend a garden and grow flowers beside the stone cottage she shares with her grandmother. That is, until one morning, she rescues a silver-tailed mermaid covered in wounds.
He calls her “Lily” and stubbornly insists on following her home, as innocent and wide-eyed as a newborn dolphin. But a failed spell not only “summons” him back into her water jar, it also tears away the illusion of her peaceful life.
Could her strict grandmother really be Hecate, goddess of the crossroads to the underworld? Is the greedy black cat at home actually Pluto, god of wealth? And she herself, Lilyville, is Melinoe, daughter of Hades and Persephone, princess of the underworld who vanished despite bearing the power of renewal?
Even the mermaid who depends on her, “Kai,” is actually Triton, son of the sea god. He was entrusted with the mission of finding her, and fate led him to her side.
As the prophecy is revealed and death devours the signs of life, Lily must make a choice:
Will she remain Lilyville, fleeing from her destiny? Or tear apart the lies and become Melinoe, wielding the power of renewal as she faces the gods' game?
