In a hidden DNA sequencing lab nestled beneath a forgotten mountain, young lab assistant Elara discovers a mysterious double helix made of shimmering crystal—said to contain the blueprint of all living magic. When the sequence begins rewriting itself, strange creatures stir from myth, and Elara is thrust into a race against time to decode the ancient strands before they fall into the hands of a power-hungry scientist-turned-sorcerer. With the help of a talking pipette, a grumpy gene sprite, and a princely intern who isn’t quite what he seems, Elara must unlock the secrets of the crystal helix to save both science and story from unraveling.
