Series Overview

By drawing on characters from Molly’s past, present, and future, the series spans multiple seasons, with each season focusing on the arc of an individual female protagonist. At this point, protagonists include the younger Pearl, Molly, Molly’s daughter Rosie, and Rosie’s daughter, Lily.

Each season follows a single heroine through time as she solves family mysteries, learns about her individual magical powers, and changes the arc of history.

The series will further explore the mysterious figure of the family tree, inspired by ancient mythologies, and its bewitching role within Molly and Pearl’s ancestry.

Individual story arcs would be offset by dramatic historical backdrops ranging from Russia to America to Hawaii, and include the Russian Civil War and World Wars I and II.
