The apocalypse is coming. Magic wants to fix it. Science thinks it caused it—and can fix it. * On a pre-apocalyptic Earth, Gwen Aishat Gwen, an AI-enhanced system-bound black woman engineered for logic and precision, is deeply at odds with a returning breed of human sized fairy godmothers. These are otherworldly beings born of ancient belief and chaotic magic. One of these fairies—Abigail Susanna Winthrop Hawthorne a.k.a Mathilda—is old-school and all about glitter, rainbows, and dangerously outdated ideals. Maybe even a little racist. And she really doesn’t understand how a 'Black woman' could hold very much power without “magic” or “faith in superstitions.” They clash! But the survival of humanity may depend on a fusion. Maybe even... a union. And what if the only thing that can truly change the world… is if these two worn-out godmothers stop fighting long enough to understand each other….. and maybe fall in love? --- JUICY THEMES: 1. Science vs. Superstition = Head vs. Heart 2. Queerness in ancient systems 3. Enemies-to-Lovers slow burn 4. Cultural clash with apocalyptic stakes 5.
