The Pagan New Year, also known as Samhain, is celebrated on October 31st. It is believed to be the time when the veil between the physical world and the spiritual world is the thinnest. This ancient Celtic festival marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. It is a time to honor and remember the ancestors, as well as to connect with the spiritual realm. During Samhain, people gather to celebrate with various customs and traditions. One common practice is to carve pumpkins into Jack-o'-lanterns, which are said to ward off evil spirits.

Another tradition is to dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating, which originated from the belief that disguising oneself would protect from wandering spirits. In addition to these modern traditions, many Pagans perform rituals and ceremonies to honor their ancestors.

Before they can get used to the boredom, Ninni and Noel find themselves on the run with a fugitive who’s like catnip for dragons. Will they manage to pull off a happy ending, or has their story just been cursed?
