Synopsis
In 16th-century Holy Roman Empire, orphaned Ella is sent to a convent for "witches' daughters" seeking vengeance.
In the 16th century, in the Holy Roman Empire, the inquisition condemned many innocent people to the stake. Deprived of her family, Ella finds herself sent to a convent which re-educates "the daughters of witches." Will torture and miracles overcome the flame of vengeance that burns within her?
