Welcome to the Táin Milseán Series — a story of fire, memory, and the shadows that refuse to stay buried.
🔥Inheritance, fire, and sweetness collide in Caldwell
Nineteen years ago, the Caldwell Confectionery Factory burned to the ground, killing Pyper Tan‑Milseán’s parents and leaving her scarred and exiled from the town that blamed her family for the tragedy.
She swore she’d never return. But an anonymous email claims the fire report was a lie — and Pyper can’t ignore it.
Inside the ruins, she finds more than memory. A melted childhood relic where it shouldn’t be. A lighter no one in her family owned. Fresh boot prints in a place that should be sealed.
Someone else is searching. Someone who knows she’s here. Someone who doesn’t want the truth uncovered.
As Pyper digs deeper into Caldwell’s secrets, she realizes the fire didn’t just destroy her family — it hid something far more dangerous.
And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she understands: the fire never really went out.

Nineteen years after the Caldwell Confectionery Factory burned, Pyper Tan‑Milseán returns home to confront the tragedy that exiled her. Inside the ruins, she finds evidence the fire wasn’t an accident — and someone else has been searching for it too. As the past stirs awake, Pyper realizes the blaze that destroyed her family never truly died, and the truth waiting in the soot is far more dangerous than she imagined.
Episode Two:
In the ruins of Caldwell, the past begins to gather itself — ash drifting into shape, memory rising like smoke. A relic glows where it shouldn’t, a shadow moves where no one should stand, and the soot remembers every step. Pyper feels the fire waking, and it knows her name.
