A brief history lesson

In 1431, an event takes place in France that sows the seeds for a change that, while small at first, grows into something more powerful than anyone could have ever imagined. Death, faith, magic, and monster hunting intersect to forge an upstart nunnery into a force to be reckoned with for centuries to come.

Episode Zero: History Lesson

In hunting, as in war, there are long periods of boredom--and short bouts of sheer terror.

In early March, 1915, a young knight of the Order of Joan is stalked by a creature with superior strength and speed. She has a plan to best it, fortunately--but as the saying goes, no plan survives first contact with the enemy...

Episode One: Stake Out

Not every thick skull in the trenches belongs to a dead man.

Minnie Damson's job is to hunt monsters. Often the easiest part is killing them; harder is convincing the people she protects to take her advice seriously. And sometimes by the time they do, it's already too late...

Episode Two: Dirt Nap

Run.

Minnie leads the men on a mad dash for safety, but they aren't the only ones wading through the mud of the trenches...

Episode Three: Trench Run

Sometimes ill-laid plans are the only plans you have.

After a treacherous escape, Minnie is called upon once again to aid the soldiers. This time, however, she's asked to walk an even finer line between meeting the needs of her allies and maintaining the neutrality of the Order.

Episode Four: Dead Weight

Minnie gets to the point.

Minnie must try her hand at magic in a desperate attempt to stop the Germans from surging through the broken British line.

Episode Five: Finger Pointing

In Loving Memory of Miranda Lewis

In Loving Memory of Miranda "Panda" Samford, credited as Miranda Lewis.

Season One Wrap-Up

Magic, Monsters, and the Trenches of World War One

It is March, 1915 in France, and just behind the front lines a woman is running for her life. She does not run from enemy soldiers or falling mortars; a far more sinister creature stalks her, one created by bloodshed and black magic. This is the newest threat in a war growing uglier by the day, and it won't be the last. Or the worst. But this woman is not a civilian. As a knight of the Order of Joan, she is only one of a legion of women with a long history of monster hunting. So when she runs, she does not do so blindly; it's all part of the larger plan.
