Project: Nocturne
Throughout time, we have had several different names. One in particular crops up more than any other, the simple brand of ‘witch.’ It evokes fear. It is the very name given to those that used magic for their own maleficence. Thus began the worst period in our history. Then Nocturne was born.

Summary-- Centuries have past since the witch trials but the witches have not recovered; so much was lost to the pyre. Nocturne was built as their sanctuary. Deep underground London’s own streets lies the archives of the witches. As families were lost, along with their knowledge, the keepers of Nocturne tried to preserve what it could. These lone witches became a family themselves and, as time passed, new life was born into the archives.
Genevieve, more commonly known as Genie, is a 14th generation Nocturne witch. Her task is simple: preserve the witches history. However, with new blood comes new ideas. One simple plan could solve everything: to recover what was lost. It sounds simple. It isn’t. Delving into history is reckless. It is suicide. The risk is too great for the reward to be worth anything. Those words became the pied piper’s song.

Author Note-- Nocturne is still in the planning stages, so I have tried to keep the summary more bareboned in order for things not to change drastically. I will update with a more fleshed-out idea soon!
