The premise
Set in an alternate America where witches ended their persecution over 300 years ago by cutting a deal with the government to fight for their country, the series follows three young women from basic training in combat magic into early deployment.
Horror Vault's take
In an alternate America where witches struck a deal centuries ago to serve as soldiers in exchange for safety, three young recruits must master combat magic and survive the brutal realities of military life. The series blends dark fantasy with sharp social commentary, asking what freedom truly costs when survival depends on obedience. As the women forge bonds under pressure, a shadowy threat looms beyond the battlefield that challenges everything they've been trained to believe.
