Plain Kate lives in a time afraid of magic.

She has a gift for carving 'lucky' wooden-charms. Known as Witch-Blade,
her unusual gift attracts dangerous attention in a place where
witches are burned.

When her village falls on bad times, suspicion falls on Kate. Scared
for her life, she seeks the help of a mysterious stranger.

In exchange for her shadow, the stranger will assist her, but Kate
becomes part of a terrifying plan, darker than she ever dreamed.
