## Series overview

The series is set in the fictional village of Mystischequellen in the region of Ambas, a village charged with a hidden supernatural energy. It follows the lives of three teenage sisters: Orianne (Emmanuelle Lièvre), Mélissa (Katia Nyzhenchenko), and Céleste Grimm (Anaïs Lou Murblin), raised by their great-aunt Gruzelle (Catherine Héno) following the death of their parents shortly after Céleste's birth. When an evil force comes to wreck havoc on their previously peaceful village, the sisters discover that they come from a long line of powerful sorcerers and sorceresses, tasked with protecting their small village from supernatural forces of evil. The history of Mystischequellen in addition to the family backgrounds of the Grimms and other townspeople are revealed through flashbacks as the series goes on.
