"Every ending hides a forgotten beginning—because magic always comes with a price... and sometimes a second chance." When sixteen-year-old Jack moves into his late grandmother's house, he discovers a mysterious leather-bound book and an antique key hidden in the attic. Inside the book is a handwritten note bearing a cryptic message and coordinates pointing to a town called Fablemist—a place that doesn't appear on any modern maps. Driven by curiosity and a strange sense of connection to the artifacts, Jack convinces his reluctant parents to take a weekend trip to the coordinates, where they discover a picturesque town seemingly frozen in time yet existing in the modern world. As Jack explores Fablemist, he begins noticing odd occurrences—townsfolk who speak in riddles, buildings that seem to shift locations overnight, and a strange shimmer in the air at the town's edge. When he uses the key to unlock an abandoned clock tower, Jack accidentally reactivates dormant magic throughout the town, awakening both wonder and danger. With the help of local teens who have their own connections to Everwood's magical history, and occasional guidance from visitors with ties to another magical town called Storybrooke, Jack must decipher the contents of the book to understand his ancestral connection to this place and his role in an ancient prophecy that could either restore balance to all magical realms or unleash chaos upon them all.
