Petra KurkováâÂÂa witch who wields magic worth its weight in goldâÂÂis tasked with combating the undead on World War IâÂÂs eastern front. The battlefield has yielded a newfound closeness for her spellbound team, especially for Josef Svoboda, a recruiter for the Order of the Seven Stars.

The werewolves are closing in. So, too, are the bounty hunters eager to collect. As PetraâÂÂs team finds itself at a magical crossroads, Josef devises an ambush of his ownâÂÂone that could wipe out the cursed threat forever or endanger everything and everyone he loves.
