Lennaïg lives and works with her adoptive sister, Kaya. One day, a solicitor suddenly informs her that her mother died just the day before, not 25 years ago! She must travel to Brittany to handle the inheritance.
Before leaving, Lennaïg goes on a date arranged by Kaya, where she meets a strange man who attempts to cast a spell on her. Suddenly, two men appear—Malo and Merlin—claiming to be druids assigned to protect her. According to them, Lennaïg is the heir to a long line of druidesses, and her life is in danger.
A druidess? Seriously?
That evening, much to her sister’s surprise, Lennaïg doesn’t come home with one man… but two.
