    Summary

    Luz Noceda, wild witch and member of the underground resistance of the Boiling Isles, did not expect her heist to go wrong and get caught in a magical accident that would send her to the human realm.
    Eda Clawthrone, antique shop owner and totally legitimate businesswoman extraordinaire, didn't expect to find a real life witch dumped on the side of the road as the sky above her was riddled with portals to another realm.
    Good thing both of them are good at making the best of unusual situations.

    ---

    Summary

    "But…" Amity was frowning, trying to get a handle on a long-gestating thought, and she took both of Luz’s hands in hers. "YOU belong here. I remember you telling me how different you used to feel in the human realm. Everything you’ve done, that you’ve helped me do... I thought we both understood that you’re not like them."

    Luz stared at her. It suddenly made a sickening sort of sense, how the Empress had been able to send raiding parties to human settlements while sleeping in the same bed as one. How confused and hurt she’d been when Luz had told her she couldn’t be part of her regime any longer. She’d never treated Luz like the other humans because in her mind Luz wasn’t one.

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fifteen years after first arriving on the Boiling Isles, Luz leads a rebellion against the despotic rule of a new regime. But she and the Empress have a past that's hard to reconcile.

    Summary

    (Has now entered hiatus. Will be "rebooted" after Season 2B finishes)

    It's been seven years since Luz Noceda was transported to the Isles thanks to a malfunctioning portal of an otherworldly Emperor. For seven years, she experienced and learned the wonders of magic and all that it meant. For seven years she's witnessed the pain and suffering caused by Belos. For seven years, she's longed to see her mother again.

    Now with Belos dead, she takes his place as overlord of the Isles, but her reign is not unchallenged. As the brutal civil war of the Isles begins to ramp back up, she must find a way to bring unity back to the land once more. Some will see her as nothing more than Belos' successor, a threat to be eliminated. But some will begin to realize the true nature of the Isle's new ruler. And all the while, she begins drawing the attention of those from beyond...

    In this world of magic, Luz has her work cut out for her in an age of usurpers.

    But as long as she breathes, there will always be someone who will hail to the queen.
