Storyline

In France during the 15th century, witch hunting is at its peak. The Inquisition is everywhere. Lara, a sixteen year old girl, is sentenced to death. Before she dies she curses her executioners and swears to return to punish them.

In Amerika, New Eden during the 21st century, the goddess Sha strikes inexorably. Her hand takes revenge to all of them who are involved with the death of Lara. Inspector Duffy is assigned to capture Sha but she's puzzled as to why she feels a strange connection to the killer.

The story is a trilogy.
