LAVENDER MAGIC
A DOVELETS STORY
When love is forbidden,
what must we do to prevail?
The year is 1952, and Dovelets Academy of the Astrological Arts finds itself - much like all of America - coping with the impacts of the Korean War.
Simultaneously, the Lavender Scare - perpetuated by Dovelets alumni Senator Joseph Faulkner of Minnesota - threatens to permanently outcast queer people from contemporary society.
Despite a controversial stance on homosexuality, Senator Faulkner easily wins his reelection campaign to the Senate. Political insiders largely link the military deployment of the Senator’s son - Leo Faulkner - to the frontlines in Korea as what swayed the vote in favor of Senator Faulkner.
However, without being aware of it, the senator’s political ambitions contradict the man his son is becoming. Leo has been secretly committed to the co-captain of the Faulkner stargliding team, Archie Harmon, since his freshmen year. Now seniors, both Archie and Leo find themselves in lavender relationships with two other seniors at Dovelets: Eugenia Hall and Grace Clements, who are also secretly committed to one another.
Forced into an impossible situation, what will the four practitioners do to protect their forbidden love as more and more people begin to suspect their connections aren’t what they appear to be? Will the pressures they are under destroy them, or bring them closer together?
Join Archie, Leo, Grace, and Eugenia as they struggle to fight for the only love they believe in in Lavender Magic, Anthony Scott’s first unofficial prequel to The Age of Cain Saga, A Dovelets Story.
