Set against the brutal backdrop of the Hundred Years' War in medieval France, this story centers on Maria, a witch of extraordinary magical ability who holds a deep-seated hatred for conflict and bloodshed. Alongside her supernatural companions, including her succubus Artemis, Maria has made it her personal mission to interfere with battles and prevent senseless violence on the battlefield. Her persistent meddling, however, does not go unnoticed — the heavens grow wary of her influence among mortals, prompting the Archangel Michael to impose a divine restriction that puts her powers at stake. To keep a close eye on the defiant witch, a radiant angel named Ezekiel is dispatched to the human world, tasked with ensuring Maria refrains from openly using magic before ordinary people. Caught between celestial authority and her own convictions, Maria's story unfolds in a world torn apart by war, faith, and the complicated relationship between humans and the divine.
