The Inquisition rages in Europe and hunts down thousands of women and men, accused of witchcraft.
Raised in the French Landes, Margaux and Ermeline, 16 and 17, were introduced to healing practices by their mother, Catherine. While the youngest blossoms in this simple existence, between hunting and apothecary, Ermeline dreams of settling in town, far from the forests of south-west France.
This peaceful life comes to an end when Catherine and her daughters are denounced for witchcraft and hunted down by Pierre de Lancre, Master Inquisitor sent on a mission to the Bayonne region. Alone and on the run, Margaux is taken in by a mysterious man, Nicodemus, who will teach her the truth about her origins and her abilities.
