Synopsis

In an alternate 1870s America where magic is as commonplace as machinery, small-town witch Emily Edwards accidentally absorbs a mysterious stone into her hand. Forced to travel cross-country with an arrogant warlock to find someone who can remove it, she discovers the stone holds a power that warring magical factions will kill to possess.
