Year One

Year One introduces Lana as a 28-year-old sous chef with butterscotch hair, blue eyes, and a flair for fashion. At first, she is firmly rooted in the ordinary world, navigating a career in New York City while casually experimenting with magick. Her spells before the Doom are little more than dabbling and are reflective of curiosity rather than true power. However, when the world collapses, Lana’s latent gifts awaken, marking her as one of the emerging witches who must shoulder the burden of survival in a landscape torn apart by plague, violence, and supernatural upheaval.

Lana’s magick quickly becomes essential to her own survival and that of her companions. As they all struggle to meet new challenges, she channels her power to move cars, lower bridges, and defend against dark magick wielders like Eric and Allegra. These acts prove that she is both capable and willing to step into danger when others cannot. In a world where old systems fail, Lana’s gifts bridge the gap between destruction and possibility, enabling her group to keep moving forward. Although Year One features an ensemble cast, Lana emerges as its emotional center and arguably its protagonist, particularly since she is the mother of the yet-unborn Fallon Swift, the foretold savior of the new world.
