Twelve years ago, six-year-old Ella was taken away by the Wizards' Council.
Three months later, Cecilia received notification of her sister's death - "cleared in accordance with protocol."
From that day on, she became the most dangerous exiled witch on the Parliament's bounty list. A witch hunter, his boss, the whole team - the Council cut her and she took back a piece of flesh. Revenge is her only reason for living.
Until she met the werewolf in a tavern in a border town.
His name is Rex. His palms were covered with scars from silverware burns, and there was a silver nail nailed to his chest that could never be removed. He said that his sister also died in the hands of the parliament. He said that he did not dare to transform on the full moon. He said that he needed a helper.
So two people who lost everything formed the most unlikely alliance in the world - witch and werewolf, witch fire and silver nails.
They thought it was just a get-what-you-get deal: you kill the witch hunters, I kill the vampires.
But what they didn't know was that in the parliament's laboratory, among the rows of crystal coffins, the children who had been "cleared" still had their eyes open. In the last crystal coffin, Ella, wearing a floral skirt, has been waiting for her for twelve years.
When the silver nails shatter, when the witch fire is ignited, when the sister's empty eyes finally close——
Cecilia discovered that the real enemy was never the Parliament.
It's her heart that doesn't dare to trust anyone anymore.

This is not a story about redemption.
This is a story about "you deserve to live".
