   Summary

   Haunted by the devastating consequences of her choices, Wanda lives in self-imposed exile, clutching a stolen grimoire that whispers promises of redemption at a terrible cost. Each spell she casts brings her closer to reclaiming what she’s lost but also chips away at her soul.

   On a cold December night, a chance visit to a quiet, esoteric bookshop changes everything. The enigmatic shopkeeper offers her a tarot reading that reveals a harrowing truth: Wanda’s path is leading her to become the very monster she once fought to destroy.

   Guided by ghostly figures from her past, present, and future, Wanda must confront the wreckage of her choices and the seductive power of the Darkhold. Will she find the courage to reclaim her humanity, or will she succumb to the darkness she’s spent years trying to outrun?
