Zarya is spending summer in Paris with her best friend Abbie and her grandfather. When he takes her to the village where she was born, strange things begin: black beasts not seen for two centuries, unexplained sounds, objects moving without being touched. Meanwhile, girls are disappearing in Paris. A villain named Malphas wants what was passed down to Zarya. When she finally asks her grandfather whether she is a witch, his answer is not quite what she expected.
