Bewitching Scope Book
01
Her parents vanished three years ago. Her grandmother is hiding something. And a strange kaleidoscope just landed in her hands.
Arianna Pruitt never asked for any of this. She didn't ask to be orphaned by magic she didn't understand. She didn't ask to be dragged into secret forest lessons by a grandmother who won't explain anything, or to spend her nights dreaming of a glittering crystal city that everyone says was destroyed centuries ago. She definitely didn't ask to become the only person standing between the ancient artifact in her attic and a dark and dangerous man named Aldric — who has been hunting her bloodline for longer than she's been alive.But the Bewitching Scope chose her. And it doesn't care what she asked for.One look through the lens and Arianna's world fractures, just like the crystal city inside it. There's a whole secret layer to the mossy British Columbia forests she grew up in — tiny winged beings darting between the ancient trees, a language humming in the roots, and a breathtaking lost city called Aerivehl shimmering just sideways from everything she thought was real. The roses her little sister Lucibelle whispers to every morning? Whispering back. And Lucibelle herself — wild, fearless, and crackling with a magic so raw and so far beyond her five years that even Peony goes quiet when it surfaces — is turning out to be the most complicated surprise of all.The Pruitt family has never been ordinary. Not even close.They're Fae. Ancient bloodline, ancient magic, ancient responsibilities that Peony has been quietly preparing Arianna for her entire life — without once using the word Fae.Now the secret is out. The danger is real. Somewhere across the timelines, her father is waiting to be found. And Arianna — stubborn, brave, fiercely protective of everyone she loves — is right in the middle of all of it, holding an artifact that only a child can use.She didn't ask for this. But she's starting to think maybe she was always meant for it.Only children under thirteen can use the Scope. The clock is already running.

THE CHARACTERS
ARIANNA PRUITT The girl who carries everything alone
Ten years old, fiercely protective, and absolutely certain that the best way to keep the people she loves safe is to handle everything herself. Arianna has been the one holding her family together since her parents disappeared three years ago — making decisions, keeping secrets, and never once asking for help. She is brave and stubborn and brilliant. And she is about to discover that those qualities, the ones that make her extraordinary, might also be her greatest weakness.
LUCIBELLE PRUITT The little sister nobody knows what to do with
Five years old. Wild. Fearless. Crackling with a magic so raw and so enormous that even the most powerful people in her world go quiet when it surfaces. Lucibelle talks to roses and they talk back. She sees things others don't. She feels things others can't. She is the most complicated, most surprising, most extraordinary person in the room — and she is just getting started. The Bewitching Scope Trilogy is, in many ways, her story as much as her sister's.
PEONY PRUITT The grandmother with all the secrets
Strict. Formidable. Fiercely loving in ways she rarely says out loud. Peony has been preparing Arianna for a destiny she won't fully explain, running a household full of secrets with an iron hand and a heart that is bigger than she lets on. She knows more than she tells. She always has. And somewhere underneath all those secrets is a grandmother who would burn the world down for her granddaughters.
ALDRIC The villain who has been waiting the longest
Cold. Brilliant. Endlessly patient. Aldric has been watching the Pruitt family for longer than Arianna has been alive, mapping their bloodline, tracking their movements, and waiting for exactly the right moment. He wants the three ancient artifacts. He wants the power they carry. And he is absolutely certain that a ten year old girl and her impossible little sister are no match for someone who has been playing this game for decades. He might be wrong about that. But he is very, very dangerous in the meantime.
CAEL The Guardian who knows everything. Almost.
Patient. Clever. Cael has been the Guardian of Aerivehl — watching over a hidden city, protecting a civilization's worth of secrets, and waiting for the bloodline that was always supposed to come back.
When Arianna stumbles into Aerivehl through the Scope, Cael is ready for her. But Cael shares what Cael decides to share. And what he decides to share is always, somehow, exactly what serves his purposes.
He is not dishonest. He is simply very, very careful about which truths he offers and when. The information he gives Arianna is real. The information he withholds — that's the part worth waiting for.

THE JOURNEY
Some stories are about saving the world.
This one is about two sisters. And the world just happens to be in the way.
Arianna and Lucibelle Pruitt couldn't be more different. Arianna is ten — careful, fierce, and so determined to protect the people she loves that she will carry every burden alone rather than ask for help. She has been holding her family together with both hands since her parents disappeared, making decisions nobody asked her to make, keeping secrets nobody knows she's keeping. She loves with everything she has. And she expresses that love by taking control.
Lucibelle is five. She loves roses and talking to them and the way the forest smells after rain. She is wild and fearless and blazing with a magic so enormous that even the most powerful people in her world step back when it surfaces. She doesn't understand yet what she carries. She just knows that she feels everything — deeply, completely, with her whole small body.
They are everything to each other.
And that is exactly what makes everything so complicated.
Because Arianna's way of loving her sister is to decide for her. To protect her without asking. To use what Luci has without permission because the danger is real and the clock is running and there isn't time to explain. She means it as love. She means every single decision she makes as love.
But love without trust is just control. And Lucibelle Pruitt, even at five years old, knows the difference.
The journey of these two sisters across this trilogy is not just an adventure story — though it is absolutely that, with ancient kaleidoscopes and hidden cities and villains who have been waiting centuries for exactly this moment. It is the story of what happens when the person who loves you most makes choices for you instead of with you. And what it costs. And whether love — the real kind, the kind that asks instead of takes — is strong enough to survive it.
The clock is always running. But some things matter more than the clock.
