Knowing nothing of her destiny at first, Scarlett has to learn about her special powers and become a mighty warrior, strong enough to defeat the greatest threat to the world of the living. She must master her incredible supernatural powers and capabilities, in order to save her father and curse the necromancer and his gruesome henchmen to the eternal hereafter.
